Oklahoma Sooners vs. Houston Cougars Tickets

The rivalry between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Houston Cougars is not a traditional one by any means. Over the course of 35 years, the Sooners and the Cougars only faced each other three times. All three games have not been close, with the Cougars unable to get within 26 points in most of the games.

History of Sooners vs Cougars

The first matchup between the Sooners and Cougars took place in 1981 in that year’s Sun Bowl. The Cougars were coming off two seasons in a row of seven wins, despite finishing the ’79 season as the fifth team in the nation. The Sooners also entered the game off a seven-win season, though they were conference winners the season prior. The Sun Bowl game resulted in a blowout win for the Sooners, who went on to win four more conference championships in the decade. The Cougars, however, continued their streak of winning no more than seven games a season.

The second matchup between the rivals came in the second game of the 2004 season. The game was a blowout, with the Sooners beating the Cougars 63-13. The cougars finished the season with three wins and eight losses, while the Sooners went undefeated and ended the year ranked as the third team in the nation.

The Houston Cougars had their chance for revenge in 2016, following their Peach Bowl win against Florida State. Despite the Sooners being the No. 3 team entering the season, the Cougars ended up on top with a 33-23 win.

The history between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Houston Cougars is limited, but if their previous games become a trend, there is no doubt that this will become a rivalry college fans will enjoy for years.
