Notes

  1. ^ The game against Northwestern State scheduled for September 24 was canceled due to the impacts of Hurricane Rita in Louisiana.
  2. ^ In the original schedule, October 8 was an open date for Texas Southern. On October 1, the game against McNeese State was scheduled as October 8 was also their open week as the Cowboys needed another contest after their September 25 game against Northwestern Oklahoma State was canceled due to the impacts of Hurricane Rita. Originally to be played at Cowboy Stadium, the game was played at Natchitoches due to on-going recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Rita in Lake Charles.[3]
