| Transcript | T, What a Year Coogs finish season on a high note he Cougars opened the season with a bang when they blasted the UNLV Runnin' Rebels 69-0 in Las Vegas. Then UH roared into Tempe, Arizona to face Arizona State. Despite an assessement of 23 penalties for 236 yards, the Coogs racked up an amazing 744 yards in total offense. The Cougars brought the Run and Shoot back to the Astrodome for the season's first home game against Temple and showed no mercy sending them back to Philly after slapping them with a 65-7 defeat. The first real challenge was supposed to be Baylor, who led the conference in pass defense. UH scored 32 points in the second quarter alone, which included a spectacular 51 yard pass by Ware to Brian Williams on the final play of the half. The Coogs won 66- 10. Next was Texas A&M. The Run and Shoot malfunctioned before a packed stadium. The Aggies poured gasoline on the fire by employing the most unreadable, blitzing defense ever seen and won 17-13. UH vs. SMU was probably the most controversial game in SWC history. The Coogs were heavily criticized for whipping the Mustangs. UH became the first team in NCAA history to gain 1,000 yards in total offense in a single game. In all, UH set 26 NCAA and SWC records and beat SMU by a whopping 95-21. When the Cougars rolled into Razorback country, 50,000 Arkansas fans witnessed their beloved Hogs gain 647 yards offensively. Arkansas handed UH their second loss of the season. The Coogs convincingly thrashed TCU, Texas and a stubborn Texas Tech team in its next three games and annihilated the Rice Owls 64-0 to round out the season. The Coogs finished with a 9-2 record, which tied them for second place with Texas A&M. Although the Cougars were ranked 13th nationally, they were ineligible to participate in any bowl game because of their probationary status. Members of the UH team showed how awesome they were by having a total of nine players to the All SWC team and Andre Ware and Manny Hazard made national news by being named to the All America team. -R.
