When the first week of December rolls around, the Houston Cougars will have the opportunity to compete for the conference crown. By breezing past Temple in 37-8 fashion Saturday afternoon, Houston locked up a slot in the AAC Championship Game for the first time since 2015.
Dana Holgorsen’s Cougars remain unbeaten in AAC play as they extend their win streak to nine games — the program’s longest since they started 10-0 in the 2015 AAC championship season. On the other side of things, Temple extended its losing streak to five which is the longest active skid in the AAC.
