Well the third qurter is over with. Most of the student section has left, but there are still a lot of die-hard fans in the stands. Not only has Houston been the stronger, faster, and quicker team, it has also played with a lot more fire.
0:38: Houston's Case Keenum is back in the game, and on first down has all day to throw. But the Houston receiver simply drops the ball.
0:38: On the return, Houston has two illegal blocks in the back, the second one a vicious hit (somewhat of a cheap shot) that has Travis Burks laying on the field. He is able to walk off the field though.
1:24: On third down, Scelfo can't find anyone, tries to scramble, and coughs up the ball as he goes down. Green WAve recover
2:55: True freshman Jordan Stephany gets the ball on first down -- his first carry of the season I believe. On second down, Forte runs to the outside for a first down, but yet another penalty against the Green Wave (personal foul) has the offense walking backwards.
Anthony Scelfo is in the game now. Elliot wasn't horrible, but he certainly wasn't effective either.
4:16: The Green Wave stops an Aldridge run to the outside on third and long. The Cougars will punt for the first time this game -- Houston is starting to look a little complacent. On the punt, a Tulane player ran into the punter, but there was no call (a Houston player may have pushed him into the punter).
6:29: On third down, Elliot throws to WR Brian King over the middle, but King just can't hold on and the ball is deflected into the hands of a Cougar player. King had a few drops against the Bulldogs last week as well. Hopefully he can get his game together next week against SE Louisiana because he is an integral to the success of this offense.
7:17: After a few nice runs by Forte, Elliot tries to find Dunn on an out route but instead throws the ball to a Houston CB who drops an easy INT.
8:34: On third down, Elliot chucks it up to Williams in double coverage, but luckily Houston is called for holding and Tulane gets a first down. Let's see if this sparks the offense.
8:38: On first and second down, Houston DE Ernest Miller absolutely mauls Elliot on both plays. The Green Wave tackles need to step it up.
9:00: Third-down conversions have been a big issue for Tulane today, but Forte runs up the middle for a first down. They are now 2-of-8 on third down for the day.
10:08: On the kickoff return, Chris Dunn is flagged for an illegal block in the back. Penalties have been an issue in today's game as well -- that is Tulane's fourth penalty (for 50 yards).
10:14: After yet another three-and-out by the Green Wave, Anthony makes an unbelievable cutback one-on-one against Tulane S Chinonso Echebelem and takes it to the house. 31-0 Houston.. There's your big play by Aldridge. This is getting ugly.
