Houston Football is set to face the Rice Owls this Saturday, where the Owls will look to employ the 'gun option' offense. Luckily for the Cougars, head coach Willie Fritz has utilized his fair share of this choice.

A new beginning is in store for Houston quarterback Conner Weigman, as his transfer from Texas A&M brings the Cypress native home. Three injury-riddled seasons with the Aggies ended up costing him his starting job last season as now he's with the Cougars.

With a solid group, Houston football has an opportunity to seize its chance at making a run for the Big 12 Championship in 2025. Veteran leadership plays a big role in maintaining a championship mentality, something safety Kentrell Webb is ready to do.
