OU opens its 2019 season Sunday night against Houston. The Cougars are only one state away, but their history with the Sooners and Cowboys is limited. Two regular-season games and one bowl against OU. Twenty games against OSU, but only six since 1969 and just three since 1987.
Here’s a primer on Houston U. football history:
Conference championships: 11. UofH won four Missouri Valley titles in the 1950s, three of them outright. The Cougars won four Southwest Conference titles from 1976-84, but only 1978 was outright. Houston won two Conference USA titles, sharing in 1996 and winning outright in 2006.
