HOUSTON, TEXAS (September 25, 2010) On a hot and muggy afternoon in Houston, the conversation in the press box and the stand is “Will freshman quarterback Terrance Broadway be able to fill the shoes of Case Keenum?”
Houston Cougar head coach Kevin Sumlin named Broadway his starting quarterback earlier in the week, in an effort to revamp the offense after the loss of Keenum and backup quarterback Cotton Turner to injuries.
The Cougars (2-1 overall, 1-0 C-USA) face the Green Wave of Tulane (1-1 overall, 0-0 C-USA) at Houston’s Robertson.
The game is the 16th meeting between the two schools. Houston leads the series 11-4 and by a 5-2 margin at home.
UH is riding a seven-game winning streak against Tulane dating back to 2003.
That streak stands as the longest current winning streak between schools in Conference USA. The two teams have played all but one season since Houston joined Conference USA in 1996.
Broadway, who is the only player on the Houston roster from the state of Louisiana, is the first true freshman to start for the Cougars since Kevin Kolb in 2003.
Broadway saw action against UCLA, completing 5-of-8 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown.
UH has put together back-to-back sellout attendance marks of 32,119, the biggest crowds in Robertson Stadium history.
Game time is set for 2:30 pm CT and will be shown on television on CBS-CS.
