It’s been an up-and-down, tumultuous season for the Cougars, who have seen three different starting quarterbacks, the debut of a new head coach and even a devastating hurricane that resulted in the cancellation of the first game of the season.
Through it all, Houston possesses a 6-3 record. The team is bowl eligible for the fifth consecutive year and still has a chance to compete in the American Athletic Conference championship game.
But the Cougars will need a lot of help to make it to that game. They sit one game behind the Memphis Tigers, the difference being a 38-42 loss to Memphis in which the team squandered a fourth-quarter lead.
