A new era for the University of Houston Athletics Department begins as the Cougars officially enter the Big 12 Conference, and host the TCU Horned Frogs this Saturday night at TDECU Stadium.
The Cougars (1-1) are coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss at Rice, but need to regroup quickly for their toughest test of the season. TCU is 1-1, having lost a shootout in Week 1 vs Colorado.
UH QB Donovan Smith leads the team with 493 passing yards to go with four passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns. Tony Mathis is the leading rusher for the Coogs with 98 yards. Samuel Brown is the leading receiver with 15 catches for 244 yards.
The Big 12 will be the seventh league in which the University of Houston will compete in intercollegiate athletics.
