The UH football team and Baylor Bears have not faced off in a game since 1995 when both programs were still a part of the Southwest Conference, but that streak will come to an end next Saturday.
After the UH football team’s season opener against Memphis was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Tigers’ football team, the UH athletics was able to pull off a quick turnaround to open their season on time.
Athletic director Chris Pezman reached out to Baylor’s athletic department about the two schools playing each other.
The two athletic departments quickly worked out a plan for the two teams to face off at 11 a.
