Since Keenum got hurt, Cotton Turner (Junior at UH) stepped up and into the game and did fantastic! Way to go and great stats!! 9 outta 10 passes, a TD and helped/lead them to 17 points!
From the Chronicle:
Junior Cotton Turner came off the bench with 3:56 left in the third quarter and completed nine of 10 passes for 69 yards and a touchdown, leading UH to 17 points in his first three drives. Unranked at the start of the season, the Cougars on Sunday moved into the No. 23 spot in the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. The Cougars climbed as high as No. 12 last season, only to lose their final two games and fall out of the rankings altogether.
Turner drove the Cougars 80 yards for a touchdown on his first series. He polished off his third series with a 6-yard touchdown pass to James Cleveland.
“It’s good to know you can come in and execute, not totally screw it up,” Turner said. “I always prepare as if I’m the starter. And if tonight showed us anything, it’s that your number can be called at any time.”
I bet JT is beaming!! Rightly so too. Congrats to Cotton Turner. Congrats to JT also. WTG!!
