The matchup had different conference representatives from the inaugural 2006 game (itself the revival of the old Houston Bowl). This time, the teams were the TCU Horned Frogs of the Mountain West Conference and the hometown University of Houston from Conference USA. The original plan was C-USA versus Big 12, but the Big 12 did not have enough teams eligible for bowl games to fill the remaining slots after Oklahoma won the conference title and Kansas was selected at-large to the Orange Bowl. TCU and Houston had been conference rivals for many years: between 1976 and 1995, they were in the Southwest Conference, and from 2001 to 2004, TCU joined Houston in C-USA. This was their first meeting in a bowl game. The Cougars were led by interim head coach Chris Thurmond after Art Briles left the program at the conclusion of the regular season to take a similar job at Baylor. Radio Shack, the electronics store chain based in Fort Worth, Texas, was the presenting sponsor of the NFL Network telecast. The Horned Frogs won the game 20–13, giving the Cougars their eighth straight bowl loss - at the time the second longest streak in the NCAA (and tied for second-longest streak in NCAA history).Frogs edge Cougars with 20-13 Houston Bowl victory TCU Horned Frogs Athletics December 28, 2007 https://gofrogs.com/news/2007/12/28/Frogs_edge_Cougars_with_20_13_Houston_Bowl_victory September 29, 2026 Statistics Statistics TCU HOU First downs 19 20 Plays–yards 70–365 68–367 Rushes–yards 39–116 30–32 Passing yards 249 335 Passing: Comp–Att–Int 21–31–1 23–38–0 Time of possession 31:32 28:28 Source:https://www.newspapers.com/clip/41168006/texas_bowl/ Texas Bowl The Santa Fe New Mexican B2 December 29, 2007 December 27, 2019 newspapers.comhttps://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup?gameId=273620248 TCU vs. Houston - Team Statistics ESPN.com December 28, 2007 December 27, 2019 References External links Game summary at ESPN Texas Bowl Category:Texas Bowl Category:Houston Cougars football bowl games Category:TCU Horned Frogs football bowl games Texas Bowl Texas Bowl Texas Bowl
