With six minutes left in the game, Weigman threw a 37-yard completion to Thomas and then scramble it in for a touchdown. The Beavers tried to keep the game close, but junior defensive back Javion White sacked Atkinson on fourth down to ultimately seal the game for the Cougars.

“It was the second sack of my whole career,” White said. “It felt amazing.”

Houston will take on Southern in the upcoming week at 6 P.M. on Sept. 12.

The locations include UH South/University Oaks, TSU/UH Athletics District, Elgin/Third Ward, Leeland/Third Ward and EaDo/Stadium.

The shuttle trains will run approximately every 9 minutes, making it easier for students to attend the game. The service will begin from 8 a.m. through 11 a.m., or the end of the first quarter and 1:30 p.m. through 3 p.m., or when crowds clear.

At the global level, NSA-UH Vice President Pratik Poudel believes that the floods highlight issues with early-warning systems and climate change preparedness.

The floods were caused by a chunk of ice that snapped off a glacier and tumbled into the valley below. Glaciers around the world are increasingly unstable because of human-caused global warming, caused by burning fossil fuels.

Though international support has emerged for Nepal, organizations like the United Nations should address climate-related disasters with greater urgency.
