"We are so pleased to have the Cougars in the Texas Bowl this season and we look forward to hosting them and their fans at Reliant Stadium," said Texas Bowl director David Brady. "With over 37,000 tickets already sold for the game, this is a great chance for a lot of Houston football fans to see an exciting hometown team. It is also a great chance for Cougar fans and alumni to experience their team in a great bowl game without having to leave Houston."

DePelchin Children’s Center, Houston’s oldest charitable organization, is the official charitable partner of the Texas Bowl.
