Tulsa, OK (My Sportsbook) - Matt Hogan's 51-yard field goal as time expired capped a dramatic comeback and lifted 13th-ranked Houston over Tulsa, 46-45, at Chapman Stadium.
Charles Clay's one-yard plunge with 3:28 left in regulation provided Tulsa a 45-37 cushion, but Houston mounted one last charge, getting to the Tulsa two with 1:24 left after Bryce Beall's 13-yard run.
Beall gained one yard on two consecutive rushes, then Keenum found James Cleveland for a one-yard TD pass to make it 45-43 with 21 seconds left. The conversion failed, however, when Keenum was sacked as he tried to roll out to the right.
Tim Monroe was able to come up with the onsides kick after a Tulsa player mishandled the ball, and Houston was set up on its own 39.
Keenum connected with Cleveland for 14 yards on the second play of the drive, then hit Tyron Carrier for 13 yards with three seconds to go. Hogan lined up for the 51-yard attempt and was true to end the contest.
Keenum finished 40-of-60 for 522 yards and three touchdowns for the Cougars (8-1, 4-1 C-USA), who won their fifth straight contest. Cleveland ended up with 12 receptions for 167 yards and three scores, while Beall gained 82 yards on 17 carries and Charles Sims added a rushing score.
G.J. Kinne completed 19-of-25 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions for the Golden Hurricane (4-5, 2-3), who suffered their fourth straight defeat.
Kinne also rushed for 100 yards and a TD on 16 carries, Clay added two rushing and two receiving scores and Damaris Johnson hauled in 10 balls for 144 yards in defeat.
The teams combined for a whopping 1,229 yards of total offense, with Houston compiling 695 to 534 for Tulsa.
