Houston Cougars Football Tickets

Take a look at non-BCS schools like Boise State and Utah, and you’ll get an idea of the sort of potential the Houston Cougars have. Last season was an overflow of ups and downs that saw the Cougars climb as high as #12 in the national rankings, and that also saw them lose the Conference USA title. If third-year coach Kevin Sumlin can straighten out the issues that plagued this team’s defense, this could be a truly special year for the Cougars. The one thing you can be sure of with Houston Cougars tickets is that you will see a lot of scoring.

When people think of the Houston Cougars roster, the first thing that comes to mind is offense. And why wouldn’t offense come to mind. After all, wide receivers James Cleveland, Tyron Carrier, and Patrick Edwards, along with running backs Charles Sims and Bryce Beall, are helping superstar quarterback Case Keenum rewrite the record books. But if the Cougars are going to succeed this year to the level they have in mind, it will have to be the defense that pushes them over the top. Last season, teams were able to run against the Cougars at will, and this allowed them to keep the ball out of Keenum’s hands. This season, linebacker Marcus McGraw and defensive end David Hunter will lead a charge to improve from last year’s team that finished 115th in the country against the run. If this defense manages to start getting third down stops with greater consistency, opponents will be in some serious trouble. GoTickets.com has Houston Cougars football tickets for every game this year.

The Houston Cougars football schedule is full of the usual Conference USA clashes, with visits to UCLA (September 18th) and Texas Tech (November 27th) as non-conference icing on the cake. Conference play begins early for the Cougars this season, with home games against UTEP (September 10th) and Tulane (September 25th), and these potential trap games will be important wins for a team that sees a conference title as a minimum requirement for a successful season. After three consecutive midseason road games, the Cougars return to Robertson Stadium for games against UCF (November 5th) and Tulsa (November 13th) before heading back out on the road again for the last two games of the year. If you are looking for Houston Cougars tickets, you need to act quickly. The Cougars play five of their last seven games on the road, which means that Robertson Stadium will fill up quickly for the early-season games. This is the year of high-flying offense, and if it also happens to be the year of solid defense, it will be the year of a Conference USA title.
