It’s odd how history can repeat itself.
On Saturday, Houston will play Baylor in Waco in search of its first win against a former Southwest Conference opponent in their first season in the Big 12.
On Sept. 11, 1976, the Cougars traveled to Waco looking for their first win in the Southwest Conference in their first game of the season.
This year, the Bears are two years removed from a Big 12 Championship in 2021, a season where they were picked to finish towards the bottom of the conference before the season. After a disappointing 6-7 year in 2022 and a rocky start thus far, Baylor is looking to get things back on track by beating a new conference opponent in UH at home.
