We are not seeing that with Washington. That does not mean they can’t show up and do that because they have the personnel. It is just different schematically, but yes, talent-wise, very similar.”

Cape, who was slightly later to return to tackle after it was unsure it could arrange uniforms in time, struggled to put together significant yardage in the first half, even as its defense repeatedly took advantage of slippery pitches by the UQA offense. Three times, the Cougars earned free drives thanks to fumble recoveries, the third time by Brayden Chester.

Wide receiver Chris Moore and rookie defensive tackle Justin Madubuike missed the team’s first two games but returned to practice this week. Both players were limited Thursday and Friday.

“For my short time being a special teams coach, this might be it,” said Horton, a Ravens special teams coach since 2015. “What we have here in our ‘Wolfpack’ [with punter Sam Koch and long snapper Morgan Cox] and with Justin, obviously, he’s been unbelievable in his career.
