The UH football team has been on an unexpected roller coaster since Friday.
The day began with the team focusing on Memphis. The Cougars and Tigers were set to play against each other on Sept. 18. Houston went through a mock game on Friday, which focused on the logistical side of the games.
The Cougars went through their warmup routine, sideline organization and their group substitutions.
While all this was going on, rumors were swirling around that Memphis was dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak after its first game against Arkansas State, and there was a serious question whether Houston would have to wait another week to kick off the 2020 season.
