Revenge will certainly be in the air Thursday night as the Houston Cougars host the UConn Huskies. The Huskies handed the Cougars their lone loss of the 2015 season last season in a 20-17 loss…

The Houston Cougars are 4-0 and ranked 6th in the AP Poll, however the Huskies could ruin that. In their first ever meeting, UConn won 20-17.  The Cougars, with the 12th ranked offense and 4th ranked defense, look to halt the losing streak at one.

Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr. has the Cougars off to a hot start and Thursday night they hope to keep it going. Ward Jr. and the Cougars put up 64 points against Texas State last week. The senior quarterback was 20 for 26 with 289 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cougars rushed for 243 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Eight different Cougar players carried the ball for positive yards. Four different Cougar players scored a rushing touchdown.

Houston’s defense leads the conference in sacks with 14. Linebackers Steven Taylor and Tyus Bower have 5.5 and 3.5. sacks respectively.

At 2-2, misfortune has been the name of the game for the UConn Huskies. They have lost their two games this season by an average of one possession.

The Huskies couldn’t overcome turnovers and their secondary gave up over 400 passing yards at home in their 31-24 loss to the Orange last week.

Quarterback Bryant Shireffs threw a pick six with the game tied 17 all in the third quarter and things fell apart from there. The Huskies gave up another touchdown with 2:14 remaining in the game.

Wide receiver Noel Thomas is second in the conference with 40 receptions and third in the conference with 388 passing yards.
