The Washington State Cougars had fun gobbling up cupcakes through the first two weeks of the 2019 season, but things get a little more real as they hit the road to face the Houston Cougars at NRG Stadium on Friday night (6:15 pm PT, ESPN). The game pits Mike Leach against his former player and assistant, Dana Holgorsen.
Through Holgorsen’s first two games, Houston has lost to one of the nation’s best teams with an all-time great offense in Oklahoma, and beaten Prairie View A&M.
Holgorsen bolted from West Virginia for UH in the offseason, a place where he served as the offensive coordinator in 2008 and 2009.
