The UCF Knights will travel to Texas for a Halloween conference game against the Houston Cougars this weekend.

The Knights (3-1, 2-1) defeated Tulane 34-51 last Saturday at the Bounce House. Houston (2-1, 2-0) is coming off a 37-21 win at Navy.

UCF is 6-3 over Houston in a series that dates back to 2005. The Knights most recently defeated the Cougars last season 44-29.

TDECU Stadium has been approved for 25% capacity for the 2020 season due to COVID-19. That’s an approximate 10,000 fans allowed in the stands.

Here’s your guide for traveling to the Space City. But the most important thing to remember is to always rep the Black and Gold wherever you are in Texas!
