THE DYNAMIC DUO

He then returned to his alma mater in 2018 as Associate Head Coach/ Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach.
• Also on the Houston staff in 2018 as an offensive analyst was current TCU Assistant Head Coach/ Outside Receivers Coach Malcolm Kelly. He was a graduate assistant for the Cougars in 2017.

• TCU is 6-6 at home against the Cougars, 6-7 on the road and 1-0 at neutral sites.

WEATHER:

It’s no longer “Fake Fall” in Fort Worth, we have now fully transitioned to “Third Summer.” Expect tailgating temps in the 90s, with kickoff to be in the mid-80s with a clear sky and the sun setting in the second quarter, with light breezes blowing across the field.
