Dana Holgorsen: UH’s defensive pressure ‘highlight of spring so far’
The UH football team’s defensive pressure has been the biggest highlight of the spring, according to head coach Dana Holgorsen. | Courtesy of UH athletics
After beginning the 2020 season looking like it might be the strength of the Houston football team, the Cougars’ defense quickly crumbled.
The Cougars ended the 2020 season giving up 32 points per game and an average of 5.78 yards per play, which added up to nearly 400 yards allowed per contest.
While lack of depth due to injuries and COVID-19 issues certainly played a part in UH’s defensive struggles, the Cougars’ defense looked like two different units when comparing their first three games against their final five.
