The Houston defense forced multiple turnovers for the 13th straight game and took the ball away four times in the game including three first-half takeaways.
Efrem Olipant led the Cougars in tackles for the second-straight week with 13 stops on the day and forced a fumble in the third quarter.

Paxton Lynch was 21 of 41 for 222 yards passing, and Brandon Hayes rushed 12 times for 72 yards to lead the Tigers (1-4, 0-2), who committed four turnovers - all fumbles. Mose Frazier caught five passes for 81 yards.
Trailing 15-10 midway through the third, Farrow put the Cougars ahead with a 1-yard run and followed that by taking O'Korn's shovel pass in for a two-point conversion.
