In a year featuring many firsts, the Houston football team is entering a bowl season like no other in the history of college football.
Typically, there are a bunch of festivities in the days before the bowl game that both teams playing in it take part in. But this year there is none of that due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In fact, the Cougars will not even arrive in Frisco, the site of this year’s New Mexico Bowl due to COVID-19 restrictions in the state of New Mexico, until around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, which is less than 24 hours before kickoff.
