This year’s UH senior class will be honored with a pregame tribute ahead of the program’s season finale. That will be a home game against Oklahoma State on November 18.

The Houston football program recently set a TDECU Stadium record with the sale of 23,500 season tickets. Over the last two seasons, the Cougars achieved 20 combined wins, and they’re looking to expand on that record.
