2011 UH Cougar Watch-Can We Get Ranked Now?

After a week in which they were snubbed by the Big 12 for a invitation to join the league and snubbed by the AP and other college football pollsters despite having a 5-0 record for the first time since the 1990 season, maybe the University of Houston Cougars have finally decided to play with a chip on their shoulder last night and East Carolina happened to be in their way.  

This was UH's most dominating performance of the year on both sides of the ball.  The Cougar defense held East Carolina to three points and only 284 yards total offense as the NCAA's number 1 ranked offense went to work early and often and scored 35 first half points.   Case Keenum was 30 for 37 for 304 yards and 3 touchdowns before being given the rest of the night off .  Charles Sims had 9 carries for 84 yards and two touchdowns as the Cougars moved to 6-0 (2-0) on the year.

Here's what Coach K had to say about what I vented about early in this post. 



Next up is a well deserved open date before they face Marshall at the Rob on October 22 and try to keep this perfect season going.
