NORMAN, Oklahoma — Dana Holgorsen’s Houston head coaching debut against No. 4 Oklahoma ended in disappointment Sunday night at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium after the Sooners beat the Cougars 49-31 in front of a sold-out crowd of over 85,000.
“We kept fighting,” Holgorsen said following the loss. “I was proud of them. I thought we were a little wide-eyed early. We settled down and had a good second quarter.”
While the Cougars’ coach felt confident heading into the matchup, all-around struggles for UH led to its first loss of the season.

Houston’s offense was troubled from the moment it stepped on Owen Field.
