Before Saturday’s game against , Houston starting quarterback Case Keenum was explicitly told not to chase down defenders after an interception.

They were words Keenum should have heeded.

Houston Cougars coach Kevin Sumlin announced Sunday afternoon that Keenum, a senior, suffered a torn ACL after awkwardly twisting while chasing a defender after a pick. Keenum will miss the rest of the season and Sumlin said he doesn’t know whether the school will apply for a medical redshirt.

“We all know kind of competitor he is,” Sumlin said of Keenum, who suffered a concussion against UTEP last week after getting blocked while trying to chase a defender during an interception return. “This is a difficult time for he and his family.

Houston is 2-0 and ranked for the second consecutive season, but the Cougars might have to continue without one of their key players.

Quarterback Case Keenum suffered a concussion during last week’s 54-24 victory over UTEP while trying to make a tackle after an interception. Coach Kevin Sumlin issued a statement about the injury, but declined to elaborate.
