A new era reigns at TDECU Stadium on Saturday night.
After nearly a two-year wait, the Houston Cougars finally play their first game under Big 12 membership status in a highly-anticipated rematch of last year’s opener against UTSA.
Houston replaces the American Athletic Conference logo in exchange for a Big 12 one on the uniforms, but the general aesthetic the Cougars have in store Saturday has never been worn by the program before. Rather than launching the new era in its signature red and white, Houston opted to go “with an old school look,” the phrase head coach Dana Holgorsen used in a teaser video released Wednesday.
