The Big 12 announced the kickoff time and TV schedule for Saturday’s matchup between the TCU Horned Frogs (6-4, 3-4 Big 12) and the No. 25 Houston Cougars (8-2, 5-2 Big 12). Kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, Nov. 22, from John O’Quinn Field at TDECU Stadium. The game will be televised on FOX.

It will mark the 28th all-time matchup between the two schools in a rivalry that dates back to 1976. While TCU holds a 13-14 record against Houston, the majority of those losses came over 40 years ago. The Frogs lost their first eight games against the Cougars. They did not earn their first win over Houston until 1984. Since the Frogs' eight losses to begin the rivalry, TCU is 13-6. The Frogs have also won nine of the last ten matchups.

The last time these two programs took to the gridiron was in October of 2024. Despite a 1-4 start to the season, the Cougars stunned the Frogs in Fort Worth with a 30-19 win. It was a game where TCU was held scoreless for nearly the entire first half. It wasn’t until Josh Hoover linked with Savion Williams for a touchdown with 2:18 left before the break.

With an 8-2 overall record and a 5-2 record in Big 12 play, the Cougars are on a roll. They are undefeated in five road games, but have suffered a pair of losses at home this season to Texas Tech and West Virginia. Houston has wins over Rice, Colorado, Oregon State, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Arizona State, and now UCF after a 30-27 victory last weekend. Houston is coming off a bye week, so their program will have had plenty of time to prepare for TCU.
