I predicted last Tuesday that the Cougars would win at Reliant Stadium on Saturday. They did, but unfortunately for the home-town crowd, the victor was not the University of Houston.
In a thriller, the Cougars from Brigham Young won the game by one point, 47-46.
Meanwhile, up in College Station, Auburn almost took QB Johnny Manziel out of the game – he was out for one series due to an injured shoulder, but came back in. “Johnny Football” threw for 454 yards/4 touchdowns and ran one in, but the Aggies came up short. Final Auburn 45 – A&M 41.
Speaking of one point games, the Texans made a good showing in Kansas City Sunday, losing to the unbeaten Chiefs by just one, despite the loss of more key players.
Arian Foster left the game after only four carries on the Texan’s first possession, and later his backup, Ben Tate, was out for a series of downs.
Then in the third quarter, star linebacker Brian Cushing suffered a season-ending injury. In what I thought at the time was a clearly illegal block, KC’s Jamaal Charles hit Cushing’s left knee, breaking his leg and tearing his LCL.
In spite of all that, Case Keenum , in his first regular season start, completed 15 of 25 passes for 271 yards and kept the Texans in the game. Final score Texans 16 – Chiefs 17.
