There may be a new regime leading the Houston Cougars, but that hasn’t diluted the excitement surrounding the upcoming season. Along with new faces on the coaching staff and roster, the campus is getting some exciting additions as well. A new Cougar statue was revealed outside of the stadium Saturday, and construction on the Cougars’ new indoor practice facility progresses as well.
Distractions may be just what Houston needed heading into the game, as the Cougars have been working smaller number on each side of the ball. With the coaching turnover and plenty of injuries, Head Coach Major Applewhite had plenty to juggle heading into Saturday’s glorified scrimmage.
