A mini-Houston scheduling day at CFT continues, with the AAC school confirming another future matchup with a Power Five program.
On the heels of their tweaked series with UT-San Antonio, UH also announced a future home-and-home with Pac-12 member Utah. The Cougars will host the Utes at TDECU Stadium on Sept. 5, 2026, then travel to Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium Sept. 11, 2027.
Th two football programs have met four times previously, with the Cougars winning all four of those matchups. Three of those four games were played in Houston, with the most recent meeting coming way back in 1978.
In confirming their series, the two programs also took care of a couple of other scheduling notes.
Utah announced a three-game series with Weber State that will be played in 2023, 2026 and 2027. That trio of games against the FCS program will, obviously, be played in Salt Lake City. Houston, meanwhile, confirmed a home-and-home with Rice, with a Sept. 24, 2022, game at the Cougars’ home and a Sept. 9, 2023, game at the home of the Owls.
