The 1967 Houston Cougars football team, also known as the Houston Cougars, Houston, or UH, represented the
University of Houston in the
1967 NCAA University Division football season. It was the 22nd of season play for Houston. The team was coached by sixth-year head coach
Bill Yeoman who was inducted into the
College Football Hall of Fame in 2001. The team played its home games in the
Astrodome, a 53,000-person capacity stadium off-campus in
Houston. Houston competed as a member of the
NCAA in the University Division,
independent of any
athletic conference. It was their eighth year of doing so. At this time, Houston was on probation from the NCAA, and therefore was not eligible to compete in any post-season
bowl games. Following the overall season, several players were selected for the
1968 NFL Draft.
