goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded
Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle.
The common belief is that Houston no longer has anything to shoot for this
season.Cougars coach Tom Herman vehemently disagrees with that notion.Houston is
no longer a factor in the College Football Playoff chase after suffering its
first loss of the season but the No. 13 Cougars look to bounce back when they
host Tulsa in an American Athletic Conference game Saturday (7 p.m. ET,
ESPN2).Houstons dream of an undefeated season and crashing the playoff party
ended when it dropped a 46-40 decision to Navy last week.The defeat changes the
national perception of the Cougars (5-1, 2-1) but Herman said the squads
aspirations arent doused by a single loss.Our goals are completely ahead of us,
Herman said at a press conference. Our goal was not to go undefeated, it was not
to just beat Oklahoma, and our goal wasnt to be ranked in the top 10 or five.
Our goal is to win our conference. That goal is still out there.The Cougars need
help with their conference quest as they trail Navy in the AACs West
division.But Herman isnt the least bit interested in having to apologize for the
teams second loss in 20 games on his watch.The state of the program, after a
season-and-a-half, in 14 months we are 18-2. Thats a .900 winning percentage,
thats pretty damn good, Herman said. We are 5-0 against Top 25 teams, 2-0
against top 10 teams, and we have shattered numerous records on both sides of
the ball.Some really cool things too. We have opportunity to have the best
back-to-back seasons in the history of the University of Houston football. The
win total for that over a two-year span sits at 21 right now. We are 18.Tulsa
(4-1, 1-0) could represent another test for the Cougars because of its prolific
offense.The Golden Hurricane have averaged 49.7 points during a three-game
winning streak and have topped 500 yards in 10 of their 18 games under
second-year coach Philip Montgomery.In each of the last two games, Tulsa had two
running backs top 100 yards and two receivers go over 100 yards.Junior running
back DAngelo Brewer has rushed for 434 yards in the two contests -- including a
career-best 252 against Fresno State -- to raise his season total to 716 yards.
Brewers average of 143.2 yards per game ranks fourth nationally. Senior sidekick
James Flanders had rushed for 390 yards and four touchddowns.ddddddddddddSenior
receivers Keevan Lucas (36 receptions for 508 yards and five touchdowns) and
Josh Atkinson (32-354-2) are having solid seasons. Senior quarterback Dane Evans
has passed for 1,135 yards and nine touchdowns but has been intercepted seven
times.Senior middle linebacker Trent Martin has a team-best 35 tackles and
junior linebacker Petera Wilson Jr. has a team-leading 3 1/2 sacks. But the
defense has been shaky by allowing 81 total points over the last two games --
both decided in overtime.I dont think there are ugly wins, Montgomery said. For
me, every win is beautiful. Every win that you get in college football is a
beautiful, beautiful win.It could be challenging for the Golden Hurricane to
slow down Houston junior quarterback Greg Ward Jr., who has passed for 1,684
yards and 11 touchdowns against four interceptions. Ward also has rushed for 272
yards and six touchdowns -- both team highs.The Heisman Trophy candidate passed
for 359 yards and three touchdowns against Navy but his mistakes were also a
factor in the defeat. Ward accounted for three turnovers -- he was intercepted
twice and lost one of his two fumbles.Junior receivers Linell Bonner and Steven
Dunbar are both enjoying fine seasons. Bonner had 42 receptions for 556 yards
and two touchdowns while Dunbar has 30 catches for 438 yards and three
scores.Defensively, the Cougars allowed 306 rushing yards in the loss to Navy
after holding their previous seven opponents to fewer than 100.Senior linebacker
Steven Taylor, who has a team-leading 5 1/2 sacks, will return after a one-game
absence because of a violation of team policy. Sophomore cornerback Howard
Wilson has three interceptions and junior linebacker Matthews Adams has a
team-best 36 tackles.Houston won the last two meetings and holds a 22-18 series
edge. But perhaps an element in this latest matchup is whether there will be a
hangover effect for the no-longer unbeaten Cougars.Bonner promises that what
occurred against Navy wont be a factor.We have a 24-hour rule where after 24
hours we cant think about the game anymore, Bonner said. Win or lose the game is
behind us, and we cant think about it anymore. ' ' '
