In fall camp before the 2007 season, the Cougars held a de facto quarterback competition to fill the starting spot vacated by the departure of four-year starter Kevin Kolb. The competition swung between Keenum and sophomore Blake Joseph throughout two-a-days and during much of the season, with each player displaying a different set of strengths and weaknesses.

Keenum made his first collegiate appearance on September 1, 2007, when the Cougars opened the season at Oregon. He threw for 179 yards and a touchdown on 14-of-27 passing and added 47 rushing yards on nine carries against the Ducks.{{Cite web |title=Houston at Oregon Box Score, September 1, 2007 |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2007-09-01-oregon.html |access-date=January 19, 2018 |website=Sports Reference |language=en |archive-date=January 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180119120724/https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2007-09-01-oregon.html |url-status=live }} Against C-USA rival Tulane in the second game, Keenum threw for 185 yards and a touchdown on 13-of-21 passing, leading Houston to a 34–10 victory.{{Cite web |title=Houston at Tulane Box Score, September 15, 2007 |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2007-09-15-tulane.html |access-date=January 19, 2018 |website=Sports Reference |language=en |archive-date=January 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180119121028/https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2007-09-15-tulane.html |url-status=live }} In the third game of the year against Colorado State, Keenum came on in relief of starter Blake Joseph and accounted for four touchdowns.{{Cite web |date=September 22, 2007 |title=Football Uses Second-Half Comeback To Knock Off Colorado State 38–27 |url=http://uhcougars.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/092207aaa.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080829234842/http://uhcougars.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/092207aaa.html |archive-date=August 29, 2008 |access-date=October 20, 2008 |website=Houston Cougars Athletics}} For this performance, Keenum was recognized as CollegeSportsReport.com's Division I FBS National Performer of the Week.

Late in the season, the Houston coaching staff selected Keenum to be the regular starting quarterback over Joseph. Keenum's outstanding pocket presence and efficient passing won out in the end over Joseph's stronger arm and running ability. Overall, he finished with 2,259 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.{{Cite web |title=Case Keenum 2007 Game Log |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/case-keenum-1/gamelog/2007/ |access-date=March 20, 2018 |website=Sports Reference |language=en |archive-date=March 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313165727/https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/case-keenum-1/gamelog/2007/ |url-status=live }}
