Possession Time 33:30 26:30 The victory was a bit of redemption Third-Down Conversions 8-16 3-15 for the Cougars, whose only loss last Fourth-Down Conversions 0-0 0-0 season came in a 20-17 defeat by the Red-Zone Scores-Chances 5-5 1-1 Huskies when they were 10-0. Sacks By: Number-Yards 4-21 3-11 Ward didn’t start that game, and there was a moment early in the second quar- ter when he took a hard hit in the midsection by Junior Joseph on a flea-flicker and had to leave the game. But he missed just one play before returning and showed no ill effects from the blow, lead- ing the Cougars (5-0, 2-0 American) on three more touchdown drives in the half to leave Houston up 28-7 at halftime. Herman didn’t think missing last year’s game against UConn made this one more impor- tant to Ward. Ward had touchdown runs of 30 and 10 yards and threw scoring passes of 3, 15 and 4 yards. He was replaced by Kyle Postma with 12 minutes remaining. Ward doesn’t like talking about himself and deflected questions about his big game. Linell Bonner had a highlight-reel play when he stretched out to grab a reception with one hand for a touchdown that pushed Houston’s lead to 42-7 in the third quarter. He finished with 12 receptions for 159 yards - both career highs. Noel Thomas had a career-high 135 yards receiving and a touchdown for Connecticut (2-3, 0-2), and Bryant Shirreffs threw for 239 yards and ran for a TD.
