Four questions loom large for No. 17 Houston ahead of its Big 12 showdown with Cincinnati. 👀 Can the Cougars bounce back from the Utah loss, get the offense rolling again and keep the defense trending in the right direction? Saturday will bring some important answers. #GoCoogs

Cincinnati is one of the Big 12’s most unpredictable teams. The Bearcats pulled off a major upset over then-No. 8 Texas Tech before suffering a 49-25 loss to Utah. With a powerful rushing attack led by Cole Tabb, Cincinnati presents a real challenge for No. 17 Houston. The Cougars can't afford to overlook either version of the Bearcats. #GoCoogs #Big12

Five Cougars to watch against Cincinnati. 👀 Conner Weigman, Amare Thomas, Jalen Mayo, Patrick Overmyer and Kentrell Webb could all play pivotal roles as No. 17 Houston looks to bounce back from its loss to Utah and defend home turf against the Bearcats. Who will make the biggest impact? #GoCoogs

Good news for the Cougars coming out of the bye week. 🚀 Houston is getting healthy at the right time as several key contributors return to practice. Willie Fritz confirmed Conner Weigman and Patrick Overmyer are full go, while Jaden Yates is back at full speed and De'Marion Thomas is making progress. #GoCoogs #UHouston #Big12 #collegefootballplayoffs

Here are 5 takeaways from the Cougars' season-opening win. ⬇️ #Houstonbasketball #GoCoogs

Four games. One final statement. 🚀🐾 Conner Weigman has one last stretch to cement his legacy at Houston. The fifth-year QB has totaled 26 touchdowns and just two interceptions this season, keeping the Cougars’ hopes alive despite a tough finish against Utah.
