For UH, the defense has had good (and bad) moments in 2-3 start
Houston defensive linemen Chidozie Nwankwo and D'Anthony Jones walk off the field after the Cougars lost 27-24 to Tulane in overtime of an NCAA college football game Friday, Sept. 30, 2022, in Houston.Doug Belk has three compartments that sum up the performance this season by the University of Houston defense.
“Ultimately there’s a lot of areas we need to improve in if we want to win football games, so it doesn’t matter about what we really did before the last drive if we didn’t finish,” Belk said. “That’s been the message moving forward.”The lights still shine bright on Sack Ave. The loss of edge rusher Derek Parish, who had 4½ sacks and 6½ tackles for loss in Week 2 against Texas Tech, was a massive blow.
For all the late-game issues, there have been flashes with defensive stops that allowed the Cougars to tie or take the lead late in games. Ceaser had a key interception against UTSA. Gervarrius Owens’ interception set up the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter against Texas Tech. Thabo Mwanki had an interception against Rice.
