Less than a year out from joining the Big 12, UH football has learned the hard way that the program has a long way to go if it is to compete in a Power Five conference.
Coined as the UH’s Big 12 preview by head coach Dana Holgorsen, the Cougars’ two game stretch against Texas Tech and Kansas made one thing clear — UH is a long way from realistically competing for a conference championship in the Big 12.
“It’s what the future’s going to be and we have got a lot, a lot a lot of work to do as a program to where we’re going to be able to handle this every week,” Holgorsen said.
