For the fifth time in American Athletic Conference history, perfection has been attained. The Houston Cougars (10-1, 8-0 AAC) cleared through their entire conference slate, dismantling the final roadblock in their path Friday night.
In wire-to-wire fashion, Dana Holgorsen’s team rattled off their 10th consecutive win by upending the Memphis Tigers (5-6, 2-5 AAC) in a 31-13 result. This senior night win was especially significant to a departing class which had never taken down Memphis. The Cougars shattered their 5-game series losing streak and outlasted the Tigers to capture the final victory in their pursuit of finishing AAC play unscathed.
