Herman championing student involvement with the team

When the Cougars open their season at home against Tennessee Technological University, head coach Tom Herman expects great things from students.

In fact, Herman expects the students to continue showing up at a high level for the entire year.

“There better not be an empty seat in that student section,” Herman said. “That would be disappointing. To me, that’s a very realistic goal.”

Since arriving on campus, Herman has worked tirelessly to build a relationship between the football team and the student body, the likes of which UH has never seen before.

“We’ve been trying to do such a good job of spreading the word to the students that we truly do play for them,” Herman said.
