Friday, Aug. 29, 2014, the inaugural game at TDECU Stadium, was supposed to be a magical night for UH football.
More than 40,000 fans dressed in red packed TDECU Stadium expecting a UH victory — and for good reason as the Cougars were favored to beat the Roadrunners by double-digits.
UTSA had other plans and spoiled the opening of TDECU Stadium by steamrolling UH on its way to a 27-7 victory.
Even though he was at West Virginia at that time, UH head football coach Dana Holgorsen remembers what happened to UH on that August night eight years ago as he prepares the 24th-ranked Cougars for their season opener against UTSA on Sept.
