Is Houston turning the corner? The Cougars have inspired plenty of confidence in their last two games, roaring back from a 19-point fourth quarter deficit to shock Memphis and then rolling past Navy to improve to 4-3. With only one conference loss, the preseason AAC favorites remain in the hunt.
Houston returns home for the first time since September to face a struggling South Florida squad which is one of three FBS programs without an FBS victory in 2022. The Bulls are refreshed after their bye week, and they’ll have one final shot to defeat Houston for the first and only time as AAC opponents — as the Cougars won all six matchups since the conference’s establishment in 2013.
