Meet the 2-0 Houston football team. These are the new Tigers – and they know how to win.
Houston won its second consecutive game to start the 2008 season Friday night, blanking Southern Boone with another fantastic defensive effort that resulted in a 40-0 blanking.
Quarterback David Weybright had three more touchdown runs – his fourth and fifth of the season – and Brad Pounds two touchdowns to lead the Tigers.
Pounds got the scoring starting with a 17-yard scamper midway through the first quarter, then made it 13-0 when he caught a short pass from Weybright in the right flat and cruised into the end zone early in the second.
Junior running back Justin Schmidt scored on a 1-yard run that put the Tigers ahead 19-0 at the half.
Weybright had rushing scores of 11, 5 and 4 yards in the second half.
