Clayton Tune named American Athletic Conference offensive player of the week

Clayton Tune was named American Athletic Conference offensive player of the week for the second week in a row after his performance in Houston’s 42-27 win over South Florida this past weekend. Tune threw four touchdown passes with a season high 380 yards at a career high 83.8% completion mark on 31-37 pass attempts. Tune added an additional 19 yards on the ground accounting for a season high 399 yards of total offense. With this performance Tune has now surpassed 10,000 career passing yards which pits him in third for Houston Cougars all-time passing leaders behind the likes of only Case Keenum and Kevin Kolb.  

With this win Houston is currently on a three-game winning streak and sits tied for second in the American Athletic standings. Houston plays on the road next Saturday against SMU at 6:00 pm (CT).
