HOUSTON - The University of Houston football team held another light workout in shorts and helmets for just under an hour Tuesday afternoon outside on the practice fields at the UH Athletics Complex.
"The main thing the last couple of days has been to get some good weight sessions in and to keep our technique sharp," head coach Art Briles said. "Our guys have battled hard for 12 straight weeks."
Briles, along with quarterback Kevin Kolb and safety Will Gulley, met with the media for about 30 minutes before the workout.
The Cougars will have four days off before returning to practice Sunday afternoon. As the holiday season approaches, Briles took a couple of moments to reflect on what he is thankful for.
"I'm thankful in the way that the Lord has provided for each one of our families here at the University of Houston," Briles said. "Each one of our players is a blessing to me. The more people you can care about and have care about you is a significant deal, and I'm thankful for that everyday."
The Cougars will play host to the C-USA Championship game at 7 p.m., Dec. 1, at John O'Quinn Field at Robertson Stadium.
The C-USA Championship game can be heard live on 790 AM The Sports Animal with the pregame show beginning one hour before kickoff. Tom Franklin will handle the play-by-play duties, while former record-setting UH quarterback David Klingler will provide color analysis.
