Houston looks to continue its best run in program history as the Cougars play their first full season under head coach Major Applewhite … Houston has won 22 games in the last two years, trailing only Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State nationally … Houston has lost its last three true road games, but has a 15-game winning streak at TDECU Stadium — the longest active homefield winning streak in FBS … The key player for Houston is DT Ed Oliver, who was tabbed by Sports Illustrated as the nation’s top defensive player following a freshman season in which he was an Associated Press and Sporting News first team All-America choice … Oliver registered 23.0 tackles for loss as a true freshman in 2016 … Applewhite will announce his starting quarterback later in the week … Four starters return on the offensive line.
He looks mean. I hope they make him angry Sat night.
