They say the Hail Mary is one of the most exciting plays in sports and Houston proved that wisdom during the end of the first half against BYU.
Quarterback John O’Korn bought some time before heaving the ball 45 yards toward the end zone to a leaping Daniel Spencer, who caught the ball and fell into the arms of several BYU defenders in the end zone.
The touchdown capped three consecutive scores by Houston in the final 3:23 of the half. In that time, the Cougars cut a 23-0 lead to 23-15.
And it could have been closer had Houston not missed two extra points and a field goal.
Speaking of that missed field goal, if we’re going to show the good Houston, we might as well show the bad. Kyle Bullard sent this potential field goal into one of his linemen.
Still, the Houston Cougars have to be feeling pretty good about being in this game when they were clearly out of it, and the BYU Cougars have to be kicking themselves for the mistakes, including a couple turnovers, that led to the late points.
