Coming off a decisive victory over the United States Naval Academy Midshipmen to secure the American Athletic Conference West title, the No. 19 Cougars welcome the No. 22 Temple University Owls to TDECU Stadium for the AAC Championship game.
A win would put the Cougars in prime position for a bid in one of the six New Year’s Day bowls.
The Owls enter the contest as the winners of their last two games, including a 27-3 victory over the University of Connecticut Huskies who gave the Cougars their only loss of the season.
Temple features a league-high, having seven players named to the first team All-American Conference list and 10 Owls receiving All-AAC honors.
