For Saturday’s homecoming game against Marshall, the Cougars will reach back to a different era for their duds.

The Cougars’ uniforms will honor the great UH sqauds under head coach Bill Yeoman of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.

But these uniforms are unique. They are not from one year, but combine different design aspects from Yeoman’s tenure.

Yeoman led the Cougars to a 160-108-8 record, 11 bowl appearances and 10 Top 25 finishes in his 25 years in charge.

Case KeenumI think they look pretty cool. I’m excited to see them out on the field. It always looks different out on Saturday afternoon at Robertson than it does just around the locker room.”

Obviously, we’re really excited to put on the old jerseys. We’ve heard that it was a great team and they had expectations of winning. Obviously, every week we go out and we carry the same expectations with us.”

Zach McMillianIt’s awesome. I know a lot of guys who played through my father with these same types of jerseys and same helmets. It’s an honor. We feel like we have to go out there and honor them. It’s a blessing.”
