The Cincinnati Bearcats travel to Houston for a Big 12 Conference clash against the Cougars in Week 10 of the 2026 college football season. Houston enters the matchup following an October 18 contest against Oklahoma State at TDECU Stadium, where quarterback Conner Weigman and running back Makhi Hughes featured prominently in the Cougars' offensive attack.
Weigman, wearing number 1, directed the Houston offense while connecting with Hughes, the team's number 21 running back, during the second quarter of that game. The Bearcats will need to prepare for a Cougars backfield that has shown the ability to move the ball effectively on the ground and through the air.
Both programs are navigating their respective 2026 campaigns within the expanded Big 12, making this conference matchup critical for bowl eligibility and conference standings. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at TDECU Stadium in Houston, Texas.
