University of Houston Cougars football head coach Willie Fritz joins The Matt Thomas Show with Ross following Saturday's 34-0 road loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats. The Cougars offense was held to 233 total yards, turned the ball over three times and committed seven penalties for 68 yards. Houston is the first Power Four team to be shut out this season. "We didn't give ourselves any kind of momentum at all," Fritz said. To beat a tough opponent on the road, "we got to make some good things happen, and we just didn't do that." Quarterback Donovan Smith struggled against the Bearcats, finishing 11-of-16 for 73 yards. Smith was taken out of the game in the second half for backup Zeon Chriss. While Fritz has stated that Smith will start when the Cougars host the No. 18 Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday, he has not ruled out giving Chriss another look. "It's a whole unit that has to improve, not just the quarterback."
