Houston’s American Athletic Conference opener against Tulane, head coach Dana Holgorsen’s first AAC game at the reigns of Cougar football, may be on Thursday afternoon, but a game on Saturday can have a lot of impact on the team.
SMU, who UH plays on Oct. 24, will take to the road to face off against No. 25 TCU in a game that, if the Mustangs win, can mean a lot for the Cougars.
The Horned Frogs are coming off 39-7 and 34-13 wins over Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Purdue, respectively, while the Mustangs, also undefeated at 3-0, have beaten Arkansas State, North Texas and Texas State.
