FORT WORTH, TX - A four game losing streak and a 2-4 record after the Texas Christian Horned Frogs upended the visiting Coogs 31-28 in a rare Tuesday night contest has head coach Rags thinking about ch-ch-ch-changes. Sure it's a rebuilding year for the Houston Cougars needless to say the offense came out in a funk which once again saw the offense turn the ball over via INT on the opening drive, and ended in what could be senior QB Donovan Smith's swan song.
"Look I'm here to win, let's not mence words. If the guys behind the first stringers perform on a more consistent basis, changes will be made. No one's irreplaceable. We've strayed of course, promising start not how ya start but ya how finish and tonight our offense stunk up the joint. Changes were made this past week, and we'll make more coming up. I'm not here to make friends, I didn't take on this job to make the players or their families happy and I'll be damn if I'm losing my job in the process. The fans, the alumni, the boosters, and our administration, I PROMISE YOU this wrong will be righted. Go Coogs! Gotta go, get this fixed!" an angry coach Rags sprinted off the field.

TCU buttoned up and still struggled offensively through the first quarter. In the second quarter TCU would score twice and go into halftime tied at 14-14.

TCU then took a double digit lead scoring again. But the Cougars kept it close answering TCU's scores. In the end, TCU would finish on top after a couple key 1st down rushes by Cam Cook late in the 4th quarter.
