The No.8-ranked Texas Longhorns, led by quarterback Quinn Ewers, meet the Houston Cougars, led by quarterback Donovan Smith, on Saturday, Oct.21, 2023 (10/21/2023) at TDECU Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Oklahoma capped a 75-yard drive with a 3-yard TD pass with 15 seconds left to get a 34-30 win over the Longhorns on Oct. 7. Houston is also coming off a thrilling game, but the Cougars came out on top of their wild back-and-forth contest with West Virginia by scoring on a 49-yard Hail Mary as time expired for a 41-39 win.
This is the first meeting since 2002 between these former Southwest Conference foes and the Longhorns have won seven straight in the series. While these teams haven’t met in more than two decades, Houston quarterback Donovan Smith has faced the Longhorns before. Last season while at Texas Tech, he threw for 331 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score as the Red Raiders upset Texas 37-34 in overtime.“We’re getting ready to play an experienced quarterback which we all know all too well,” Sarkisian said.“That gives you confidence as a coach,” he said. “You watch him play that game against Texas last year, he played well.
The game is sold out as the Cougars look for their first win over Texas in Houston since a 23-14 victory at the Astrodome on Nov. 9, 1991.
