‘We want a game’: UH football itching to return to action

The UH football team is scheduled to travel to Memphis, Tennessee, to take on the Tigers this Saturday at 11 a.m., at least as of now.

The team has faced three straight weeks of cancellations to its games. The Cougars’ last contest was on Nov. 14 against USF. Since then, matchups against SMU (twice) and Tulsa have been axed from their scheduled dates.

“Are you sure we’re playing Saturday?” UH head coach Dana Holgorsen jokingly asked in a Zoom call with reporters on Monday morning.

The Cougars have been one of the hardest-hit programs in the country with COVID-19, whether it was virus issues within UH’s program or its opponents’ program, leading to eight cancellations or postponements this season.
