Houston's matchup with North Texas on Saturday has been canceled, the Cougars confirmed on Wednesday.
North Texas registered four positive COVID-19 tests over the last week, per a school statement. Further contact tracing after the tests left the Mean Green unable to field a team on Saturday. The two schools are trying to find a date to reschedule the contest.
Wednesday's cancelation marks the fifth postponed or canceled opener for Houston in 2020. Rice postponed a potential matchup on Sept. 3, and the Pac-12's vote to cancel its season scuttled a potential matchup with Washington State on Sept.
