Car has seen an increase in workload in his two seasons, going from 49 to 80 carries, 206 to 388 yards and 4.2 yards to 4.8 yards per carry. Carr, a transfer from Colorado, had a big performance in the 2017 spring game but it did not translate to the regular season where he had only eight rushing attempts.

Pertinent information regarding the emergency situation and evacuation procedures will be provided over the public address system and stadium televisions and scoreboards. UH vice president for intercollegiate athletics Hunter Yurachek and TSU athletic director Dr. Charles McClelland have been in discussions for several months about the game, which would be held at TDECU Stadium. The payout to TSU would be part of the compensation package for UH's men's and women's basketball teams playing some home games next season on the TSU campus while renovations are underway on what will become the Fertitta Center.

To provide the best fan experience to every Houston fan, closed captioning is provided in both the southeast and southwest corners of TDECU Stadium. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the gate by TDECU Stadium personnel. Event related signs, flags, banners, and posters are welcome inside the facility to show fan support during events. "With the renovation of Hofheinz Pavilion, Hunter and I had an opportunity to sit down as part of that package, we're talking about this game and I think it will be great for both our fan bases," McClelland said. "I know one thing, it will be sold out. If it gets done, you'd better get your ticket early." The season opener is Sept. 1 at Rice, while the home opener is the following week against Arizona and former UH coach Kevin Sumlin.
Now amid a changing landscape and with a conference that may just survive the loss of its anchor schools, Texas and Oklahoma, UH could be perfectly positioned for the future. For me, the nightmare memory is of rats scurrying around the old Hofheinz Pavilion. If you attended a basketball game in the building’s final two decades before it was refurbished and reborn as the Fertitta Center, you may have seen the rodents in the concourses, seating areas, or even around the court. Although they harmed no one and minded their own business while living well on discarded hot dogs, burgers, and pizza, the rats did not add to the building’s charm. In conjunction with the University of Houston's tobacco-free campus initiative, smoking, including electronic cigarettes/vaping, is not permitted on any University grounds, including TDECU Stadium.

While traditions may have changed over the years, the Cougar spirit marches on. Maybe it doesn’t matter all that much if the University of Houston will play its home football games in front of acres of empty seats again this season. It may be embarrassing to school officials, but live attendance is also largely irrelevant in the shifting landscape of college sports. As you make your way to the TDECU Stadium this fall, you will notice road construction on Cullen Boulevard as part of a campus-wide development project. For many of our fans, this is the primary route in accessing campus for Houston Cougar home football games.
Rankings from AP PollThe 2018 Houston Cougars football team represented the University of Houston in the 2018 NCAA Division I FBS football season.

After tiebreakers, they did not represent the West Division in the AAC Championship Game.
