Houston has plenty to prove after a lackluster first season under head coach Dana Holgorsen, but the team is filled with optimism as it gets closer to starting year two and expects to turn the corner much sooner than anticipated.
“It’s rare to get a bunch of excitement on the heels of a 4-8 season,” Holgorsen said during the second UH Coaches Caravan. “But that’s not what we want. It’s not what we are about, and I can’t wait to get a product out there that everyone is going to be proud of.”
Before the American Athletic Conference suspended all athletic activities back in March because of the coronavirus pandemic, Houston had already started its spring practices and completed nine of them, allowing the team to gauge the talent level they have for the upcoming season.
