CINCINNATI — The Houston-Cincinnati game on Thursday got real interesting just before halftime.
Houston was driving for a score late in the half when Cougars receiver Isaiah Johnson took a reverse and was drilled by Cincinnati’s Roman Brown on the sideline. The ball popped loose and flew through the air before Cincinnati’s Joeal Williams grabbed it near the sideline and returned it 53 yards.

Houston was also hit with a facemask penalty at the end of the play.

That led to a field goal for Cincinnati with four seconds left in the half that tied the game at 10.
So to recap: reverse, fumble, facemask, field goal. Got all that?
