Clayton Tune used adversity to become state's top signal caller

A crash never stopped Houston quarterback Clayton Tune from redemption. He’s the son of a Motocross racer. Adversity comes with the territory, so when a four-interception performance against Texas Tech in the 2021 season opener cost the Cougars a 1-0 start, Tune never doubted himself. 

Houston jumped out to a 21-7 halftime lead over Texas Tech in that game with Tune throwing for two touchdowns and running for one in the first half. A pick-six thrown by Tune in the third quarter allowed the Red Raiders to tie the game at 21, and for Tune to learn a valuable lesson about hype and ball security. Houston never scored in the second half as Texas Tech, a future Big 12 foe, won 35-21.
