The American Athletic Conference announced the 2016 Football schedule today. The AAC Champions begin their defending season against the 2015 College Football Playoff semifinalist University of Oklahoma at NRG Stadium on Sept. 3.
The Cougars are scheduled to play on three nationally televised Thursday games.
On Sept. 15, Houston will take on division rival the University of Cincinnati.
On Sept. 29, the Cougars will have the opportunity to avenge their only loss of the 2015 season when they take on the University of Connecticut at home.
And on Nov. 17, the Cougars rematch the University of Louisville in a game that arguably set the tone for the Cougars in 2015.
