UC then drove to the Houston 42, but a JC French IV throw was ruled a backward pass on replay, and the Cougars recovered with 2:11 left. "We had a touchdown called back. Didn't agree with that," coach Scott Satterfield said. The Bearcats also lost receiver JV Gibson, who went to Hermann Memorial Hospital after a hit in the end zone, and running back Cole Tabb.
