receiving yards, and redshirt freshman quarterback Patton Robinette (6
of 19 passing) threw for 154 yards, two touchdowns and two

Vanderbilt's
hard-hitting defense kept Houston's hurry-up passing attack in neutral
during the first half. Houston (8-5) didn't generate a first down until
backup quarterback Greg Ward Jr. connected with Eric Eiland with 10
yards with less than seven minutes in the second quarter. By that time
the Cougars were on their eighth series and trailed 24-0, prompting
Houston coach Tony Levine to sit O'Korn for a pair of series.The
Commodores outgained Houston 220-18 in the first half and had the game
seemingly in hand when the Cougars stunned a crowd of 42,717 by posting
24 third-quarter points.After Vanderbilt's defense halted Houston on
fourth down from the Commodores 6 to take possession, Robinette fumbled
and the Cougars had another chance. Running back Kenneth Farrow scored
from 6 yards one play later to make it 24-7.Houston followed with a
string of big plays to seize momentum and put the Commodores on their
heels. Daniel Spencer's 62-yard run on an end around set up a 6-yard
touchdown from O'Korn to Markeith Ambles, cutting the margin to 24-14.
Ambles got behind the Vanderbilt secondary for a 58-yard catch on the
Cougars' next series, and Kyle Bullard's 30-yard field goal made it
24-17.Then with 19 seconds in the third quarter, after the Commodores'
offense had stalled again, a defensive gaffe allowed receiver Deontay
Greenberry to come across the middle of the field uncovered for a
67-yard touchdown and a 24-24 tie.
