UH will take on the Knights in a key game at TDECU Stadium on Halloween, and while Houston will have its hands full containing the strong, top-ranked UCF offense, history will be on the Cougars’ side.
For UH opponents, playing on Halloween has been a nightmare most of the time as the Cougars are 8-1 all-time on the spookiest date of the year.
A look at UH’s Halloween history
The first game that Houston played on Halloween was back in 1959. The Cougars were members of the Missouri Valley Conference and were only in their 13th season as a Division I football program.
