Conference USA is making a name for itself for football junkies this fall.
Although the Mid-American Conference famously shifts to “Midweek MACtion” in late October and November, the CUSA is filling the blanks and meeting the high demand for football every night of the week in the late September and early October slate.
The conference eased into weeknight action two weeks ago with Sam Houston taking on Jacksonville State and Western Kentucky battling Middle Tennessee in Thursday night games. Then, they unleashed a 4-game slate spanning last Wednesday and Thursday, featuring eight of the new-look league’s nine teams.
