Week 7 Preview: Holgorsen hosts old friends in West Virginia

After a weekend off, the Houston Cougars look ahead to a Thursday evening matchup with West Virginia at TDECU Stadium in hopes for a change in fortune for their inaugural Big 12 season.

Losses to TCU and Texas Tech in past weeks have left much to be desired out of Houston’s initial in-conference showings.

On Thursday, Houston will take the field against the Mountaineers for the first time ever, hoping a clean slate will give way to a first-ever Big 12 win and a return to .500 at 3-3.

Old friends turned on-field foes

While West Virginia is a new opponent for the Cougars, UH head coach Dana Holgorsen knows the Mountaineers all too well.
