Against USF, Houston was without a multitude of key players all across the roster, and while it was able to cruise to a win, it will be much tougher for the Cougars to repeat the same success against SMU if they cannot get some of those players back on Saturday.

“We had a couple of guys back last night that didn’t play (against USF),” he said. “Hopefully that trend continues and we get to play the people that are here on scholarship and that have played for years.
