Keenum granted a sixth year

UCLA will have a tougher time making it back-to-back wins over Houston.

Multiple outlets are reporting that quarterback Case Keenum was granted a sixth-year medical hardship waiver and will return for the Cougars.

Keenum tore his knee against the Bruins in UCLA's 31-13 win last season and was lost for the year.

UCLA only has one player waiting on a medical hardship, Sean Sheller, whose application was recently submitted, with the results likely available in March.
