Despite a 21-7 lead in the third quarter, the Roadrunners saw the Cougars tie it up, and then it became a back-and-forth game.
Clayton Tune scores a touchdown for the University of Houston during Saturday's season opener against UTSA at the Alamodome.The sixth-largest crowd in program history, all 37,526 of them, and a national TV audience on CBS Sports Network were given a triple overtime thriller Saturday in the Alamodome between the UTSA Roadrunners and the No. 24 ranked Houston Cougars.
One of those mistakes at a critical time was a substitution penalty against UTSA in the third quarter. The Roadrunners were called for 12 men on the field on a fourth-and-1 play that would have stopped Houston if not for the penalty. Success! You're on the list. UTSA’s next possession ended in an interception after Roadrunner quarterback Frank Harris was hit as he threw the ball. Houston’s Nelson Ceaser intercepted the pass at the 50 and returned it to the UTSA 20.
After UTSA had to punt on their next drive, Houston got the ball with 10:53 remaining and used up all but 23 seconds on the clock. The Cougars kicked a field goal to take a 24-21 lead. In the second overtime, Houston again had the ball first on offense. This time the Cougars scored a touchdown on a 1-yard run by Tune. By rule, the Cougars had to go for two. Tune threw a pass to Nathaniel Dell that at first was ruled incomplete, but after video review, Dell was found to have completed the catch and gotten a foot down inbounds. Houston went in front 35-27.
Once again Houston had the ball on offense first. Tune broke from the Roadrunner pressure and ran, leaping over a Roadrunner and into the end zone to put Houston up 37-35.
