The unofficial start to the football season kicked off Wednesday when players and coaches gathered in the University of Houston Athletics/Alumni Center for the 2016 Houston Football Media Day.
Head coach Tom Herman took to the podium first to address a congregation of media which has significantly more members than past years.
“I am just excited to get started,” Herman said. “I am really excited to start forming our identity, developing our young players, developing our older players into better players, developing leaders and at the end of the day developing a team that can sustain a 14 or 15-game season.
