What Time Is Southern vs. Houston and How Can I Watch?
7 p.m. ET, streaming on ESPN+ only. There is no cable or broadcast window for this one, so a subscription is required.
Houston Is Ranked and Nobody Noticed
The Cougars opened the season 1-0 and sit 24th in the poll, a quiet climb under Willie Fritz. A ranked Houston team is a genuine development for a program that has struggled since joining the Big 12.
Southern is a SWAC program at 1-1 and this is a guarantee game. The Jaguars have one of the most famous marching bands in the country, which is often the most memorable part of these trips.
The Bottom Line
7 p.m. ET Saturday on ESPN+. Houston should win easily and should be resting starters by the fourth quarter.
