Although they played their last game at nearby NRG Stadium, the Cougars will play their first official home game when they take on the Lamar University Cardinals this Saturday.
The Cougars had little time to celebrate one of the biggest wins in the University’s history — over the No. 3 team in the country. On Sunday, they headed back to practice for the game against the Cardinals.
Head coach Tom Herman compared this week’s upcoming game to last week’s. He said that the Cougars will be the Cardinals’ University of Oklahoma, meaning that if the team wants to win they will have to keep playing at an elite level to avoid an upset.
