Senior quarterback Clayton Tune throws for 527 yards and seven touchdowns, rushes for game-high 111 yards & score
Tune threw for a career-high 527 yards on 36-of-53 passing with seven touchdowns and added a team-high 111 rushing yards on 12 carries, including a 55-yard touchdown run for the Cougars' first points of the game.
Wide receiver Nathaniel Dell hauled in 13 catches for 180 yards with a pair of touchdowns, while KeSean Carter added eight receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Matthew Golden added five catches for 105 yards and a score.
That group became only the ninth trio in school history to each record 100+ receiving yards in a game and the first since Marquez Stevenson (141), Courtney Lark (106) and Keith Corbin (104) accomplished the feat at Navy on Oct. 20, 2018.
The two teams combined for more than 1,300 yards of total offense with Houston holding a 710-642 lead. The 140 combined points were the most in an FBS regulation game in the AP poll era (since 1936).
With the loss, Houston fell to 5-4 overall and 3-2 in American Athletic Conference play. SMU improved to 5-4 overall and 3-2 in league play.
UP NEXT
