休斯顿大学上演27分大逆转:0比17落后连追27分主场反杀UCF

10月3日(周六),在休斯顿大学主场的TDECU体育场,排名全美第20位的休斯顿美洲狮队上演了本赛季大学橄榄球最戏剧性的逆转之一:他们在第三节还剩约6分钟时以0比17落后于中佛罗里达大学(UCF),随后连得27分,以27比17反败为胜。
UCF上半场完全掌控局面,四分卫基恩·詹金斯(Keyone Jenkins)第三节初段一次5码冲球达阵,把领先优势扩大到三档分数。客队带着十连败的客场战绩来到休斯顿,看起来即将爆冷终结这一尴尬纪录。然而此后场上风云突变:美洲狮四分卫康纳·魏格曼(Conner Weigman)率队连续四次推进得分,他与外接手特伦特·沃克(Trent Walker)完成一次43码长传,把球推进到对方半场,为反超的任意球铺平道路。
踢球手乔纳森·迪马斯(Jonathan Dimas)先在比赛还剩4分14秒时命中40码任意球,把比分改写为24比17;又在终场前1分56秒命中46码任意球,锁定两档分数的优势。UCF最后三波进攻在9次出招中只推进11码,还送出一次抄截,崩盘就此完成。
数据统计显示,在下半场落后17分以上的情况下,FBS球队此前的战绩是3胜130负。这场27分的连续得分逆转,也是休斯顿自四年前对孟菲斯一战19分逆转以来最大的一场翻盘。魏格曼的下半场表现,帮助美洲狮保住了排名与主场颜面,而UCF的客场连败则继续延长。

Houston Rallies From 17-0 Down, Scores 27 Unanswered to Stun UCF 27-17
The 20th-ranked Houston Cougars produced one of the season's wildest comebacks on Saturday, October 3, erasing a 17-0 third-quarter deficit to beat UCF 27-17 at TDECU Stadium. UCF quarterback Keyone Jenkins scrambled for a 5-yard touchdown to build a three-score lead with about six minutes left in the third quarter, seemingly putting the Knights on course to end a 10-game road losing streak. Instead, Houston scored 27 unanswered points.
Quarterback Conner Weigman rallied the Cougars on four straight scoring drives, highlighted by a 43-yard strike to Trent Walker. Jonathan Dimas kicked a 40-yard field goal with 4:14 left to put Houston ahead 24-17, then added a 46-yarder with 1:56 remaining. UCF's final three drives netted 11 yards on nine plays with an interception. Entering the day, FBS teams were 3-130 when trailing by 17 or more in the second half; it was Houston's largest comeback since rallying from 19 down against Memphis four years ago.
