For the first time in 2020, Houston’s football team took the field. After the first five games had either been postponed or canceled due to COVID-19, the Cougars were able to put the ball on the tee and start a new season.

Houston was impressive in its first game of the season, with the offense clicking on all cylinders. The Cougars registered a 49-31 victory over Tulane on Thursday night, starting the season 1-0. And one member of the school’s band was incredibly enthusiastic about the performance on the field.

Video of a saxophonist captured by ESPN is circulating quite a bit on social media, because of the enthusiasm displayed when it appeared Houston had the game in hand. Honestly, it’s how everyone in the band should play their instruments every week:

That’s the gold standard.

Houston will have another home game next week, hosting No. 15 BYU on Friday, Oct. 16. It should be another fun and interesting game with both teams currently undefeated on the season.

We expect more of the same from the saxophonist on Friday night, as well.
