Overall Breakdown: This is one of the games to watch in the opening week of the 2011 season. The return of Case Keenum versus the team that took him out last season is the main storyline of this game. Houston had a prolific offense in 2010 but it was not quite the same without Keenum at the helm. The Cougars get a chance at redemption in a rare chance to have a PAC 12 team come to Texas to play. For the Bruins, the win over Houston may have been the top moment in 2010. It was the start of a 3 game winning streak that got UCLA up to 3-2 before losing 6 of the final 7 games to end the season on a very sour note. If Keenum is able to shake off the rust and show the passing ability of his junior and sophomore seasons, in which he threw for over 5000 yards and 40+ TDs, then the Cougars should be able to pull this one out and get a big home win to start 2011.
