Out of Bounds: An Unconventional Weekly American Athletic Conference Preview

Week 5 was illuminating for American fans – we found out just how much fight teams like ECU, Navy and Temple have. And we saw program history made when the mighty Bearcats dismantled the Fighting Irish in South Bend, giving the team its first-ever win over a top-10 program.

Just don’t call it an upset.

Plus, Houston and SMU continued asserting their offensive dominance at the hands of two very capable quarterbacks. I was impressed with the moxie the USF Bulls continue to show but am very unsure what to make of Tulsa.

Football aside, let’s check out what Week 6 has in store outside the lines.
