## Resource

Bud Elliott sits down with Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle to preview Houston's 2026 season. The excitement is building in Houston as Willie Fritz enters another year leading the Cougars. Bud and Joseph discuss the growing belief in "Fritz magic," why expectations have risen around the program, and how much Conner Weigman's breakout 2025 season could elevate the offense. Can Houston take the next step in the Big 12 with an experienced quarterback and a program buying into Willie Fritz's vision? 🎟️ Get 60% off an annual 247Sports subscription: Use code SUMMER26 Houston Team Site: https://247sports.com/college/houston/ (0:00) Willie Fritz (2:14) Coaching Staff (3:40) Quarterbacks (7:40) Running Backs (10:05) Wide Receivers (13:50) Offensive Line (16:20) Areas of Improvement (18:00) Defensive Line (20:40) Secondary (21:40) Schedule Breakdown
