2008 Houston Football Preview:
Head Coach: Kevin Sumlin
The Houston Cougars football program is one of the most exciting to watch this season as they say goodbye to their successful coach Art Briles, who has left to take the head coaching job at Baylor, and they settle in under the leadership of former Oklahoma Sooners Offensive Coordinator Kevin Sumlin. The Cougars have shown themselves to be a real contender each year for a Conference-USA West division title and conference title, and the team will also look for a bowl bid in 2008. Robertson Stadium will hold capacity crowds this coming season, as the Houston Cougars start the next era in their already rich football history.
