On a bright and windy day UH makes UCLA have a bad trip, a 38-34 loss.

    When Coach Sumlin mentioned at the football luncheon that UCLA would probably be the largest collective they would play this season. There was definitely no doubt, in anybody's mind they were not huge. The UCLA Bruin WR's were snagging passing all day long. Which contributed to UCLA being able to stay stride for stride with UH, scoring wise. The Defense gave, bended, then made a stand when they needed to late in 4th quarter that gave the ball back to the offense to finish the game. A 38-34 UH Cougar win to start the season and give the home opening crowd something to talk about. 

   But the pride of the day belonged to RS-Sr, QB, Case Keenum. Below he talks about his exhilarating game experience.
