  10/31/21 - CB Marcus JonesrSr/2022, Houston

  Marcus Jones returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown with 17 seconds remaining to give Houston a 44-37 victory over No. 19 SMU on Saturday night, extending the Cougars' winning streak to seven games. After the Mustangs (7-1, 3-1 American Athletic) tied it at 37 on Blake Mazza's 45-yard field goal with 30 seconds left, Jones took the kickoff at the goal line and broke several tackles before breaking loose for the Cougars (7-1, 5-0). "I didn't think he was going to kick it to me at first," Jones said. "Whenever I saw him kick it, I was going to return it...I saw the seam and I was like, ‘I got to hit it.'" Jones, who also had an interception, has four special teams' touchdowns this season, which leads the nation. "I keep saying he's the best returner in the country, which he is," Houston coach Dana Holgorsen said. "I think he's getting to the point where I might say he's the best returner ever. … The things he does are unbelievable, and for him to do it in both punt and kick, it's unbelievable." SMU coach Sonny Dykes said the Mustangs' uncertainty on the preceding fourth-and-2 play from the Houston 28 before deciding to kick the field goal played a large role in the kickoff return because they called timeout earlier then they would have wanted. "Had I known we were going to kick the field goal, for sure, I would have let it run down, and we would have just squibbed it," Dykes said. - Houston/AP College Football
