MAKING THE SWITCH FROM 3-4 TO 4-3 2012 DOUBLE DIGIT TACKLE EFFORTS « With 16 defensive players accounting for 156 career starts entering the year, the Houston defense did not have a lack of experience as it 1. Phillip Steward...... 5 switches from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense under defensive coordinator Jamie Bryant in 2012. 2.

Hayden...... 1 and several have done so as eight Cougars have racked up 17 double-digit tackle efforts. « Derrick Mathews and Phillip Steward each collected a team-high 14 tackles against Texas State as four players hit at least 10 tackles in the game. « For Steward, his 13-tackle effort against UAB marked his 12th career game with at least 10 tackles. « Mathews held serve in Houston’s second game of the season against Louisiana Tech with a team-best 13 tackles. Five different players eclipsed the double-digit mark in their efforts. « With 11 tackles against North Texas, Mathews now owns five career games with at least 10 tackles. « Freshman Trevon Stewart added his name to the double-digit tackle list as he collected 16 tackles against UCLA in his first career start. He was joined by Steward who had 13 stops. « In his first career start and first action as a scholarship player, former walk-on Chris Cermin was second on the team with a career-high 13 tackles against Texas State. Entering the game, Cermin had just five career tackles. Cermin followed up the effort with 12 stops against Louisiana Tech. « All three starting linebackers against Texas State finished with double-digit tackles as middle linebacker Everett Daniels recorded a career-high 10 stops. « The cornerbacks got into the action against Louisiana Tech as Zach McMillian (11) and D.J. Hayden (10) each had at least 10 tackles. Both players’ totals marked career highs. « Stewart was the lone Houston defender in double digits in the win over Rice, making 11 stops for his second consecutive start with at least 10 tackles. « Four players had at least 10 tackles against North Texas led by Steward and Daniels with 12 stops each. Mathews and Colton Valencia finished just behind with 11 stops apiece.

D.J.’S DILEMMA « Every cornerback wants interceptions but Houston’s D.J. Hayden has a bit of a dilemma in that teams have not been throwing his way this season. Of the 242 pass attempts from Houston’s op- ponents this year, just 31 attempts (12.8%) have gone Hayden’s way. Of those 31 attempts, just eight have been completed. The eight represent just 5.7 percent of the total 141 completions from Houston opponents this season. « Hayden leads Houston with six pass breakups and is one of five Cougars with a single interception, picking off a pass at UCLA. « Facing off against Quinton Patton of Louisiana Tech, Hayden held theBiletnikoff Candidate, who just had 21 receptions for 233 yards and four TDs vs. Texas A&M, to his lowest output of the season.
