PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University and the University of Houston have agreed to a home-and-home football series beginning in 2019, WSU Director of Athletics
Bill Moos announced Monday.
Â
The two-game series is set to begin Sept. 14, 2019 in Houston, with the return game Sept. 12, 2020 in Martin Stadium.
Â
"In recent years Houston has been one of the top programs in the country," said Moos. "I believe our fans will enjoy having another quality nonconference opponent in Martin Stadium."
Â
This will be the first meeting between the teams since the 1988 Aloha Bowl, when Washington State came away with a 24-22 victory.
Â
Washington State leads the all-time series, 2-1, with WSU capturing a 32-18 win in 1959 and Houston winning 21-7 in 1966. Both of those games were in Houston.
