(Photo credit: Jeremy Reper-USA TODAY Sports) The Houston Cougars will make history Saturday night when they begin play as a Big 12 member by hosting the UTSA Roadrunners in a nonconference game. After turning in an 8-5 season in its final campaign in the American Athletic Conference, capped by a win in the Independence Bowl, Houston will see the stakes get higher as they join the Big 12 alongside UCF, Cincinnati and BYU. The Big 12 added the four schools as Texas and Oklahoma prepare to leave and join the Southeastern Conference next season.
