The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers. Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] Conference USA Championship Game three times and the AAC Championship Game twice, so players in those seasons played 14 games.Houston has recently run a spread offense under coaches Art Briles , Kevin Sumlin , Tony Levine , Tom Herman , Major Applewhite , and Dana Holgorsen , allowing offensive players to accumulate many yards and touchdowns.
