With First Game Postponed, Houston Cougars Take a Break to Help in Harvey

What’s about to happen is not going to be easy. The city recovered from Alicia and from Allison and from Ike. But the city has never really experienced a storm like Harvey.

“We’ve seen a great spirit here in Houston [with people] working together to save people’s lives,” Houston AD Hunter Yurachek told Yahoo Sports. “We’re going to see it to rebuild people’s lives as well.”
