University of Houston football coach Tom Herman created a tidal wave of interest in his program when his 13-1 Cougars won the American Athletic Conference, then convincingly defeated 2014 national champion Florida State, 38-24, in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Dec. 31 to finish No. 8 in the final AP poll.
Now, he has followed that up by signing a blockbuster top-30 recruiting class that includes defensive tackle Ed Oliver, a top-five prospect nationally.
The H-Town Takeover is no longer a vision. It has become a reality.
"We made history," Herman said Wednesday.
