Horned Frogs too much for Houston in Cougars Big 12 debut
Chandler Morris, Emani Bailey and Trey Sanders lead the TCU Horned Frogs past the Houston Cougars in first Big 12 game of 2023 for both squads.
Not even a midday downpour could spoil the Third Ward party. Nostalgia filled the air as the Houston hosted long-lost Southwest Conference foe, TCU, in the Cougars’ first ever game as a Big 12 program. The two teams played each other every season from 1976, when Houston officially joined the SWC as a football program, through 1995 when TCU and the Cougars were left out of the original Big 12.
Houston (1-2) won that first meeting, and the first eight games. TCU (2-1) entered the Week 3 contest on an eight-game winning streak against the Cougars, including the five non-conference games between the two schools this century. The Horned Frogs extended the streak to nine wins with a resounding 36-13 win over Houston.
