Houston and Hawaii will meet in Frisco for the 2020 New Mexico Bowl on Christmas Eve with neither team having more than eight games under their belt this season.
The Cougars (3-4, 3-3 American Athletic Conference) enter this week off a 30-27 loss against Memphis, while the Rainbow Warriors (4-4 Mountain West Conference) come in off a 38-21 win over UNLV.
The two teams have only matched up once in their history back in the 2003 Hawaii Bowl, which resulted in a 54-48 Rainbow Warriors win.
