UH misses game-tying field goal in the final minute
The University of Houston lost to the TCU Horned Frogs by a score of 17-14 at TDECU Stadium on a warm Saturday afternoon. The Coogs offensive could not fully capitalize on four turnovers and no longer has the opportunity to play in the Big XII championship game. ย UH will travel to Waco to face the Baylor Bears on Thanksgiving weekend to wrap up the regular season.
