The American Athletic Conference is the best it has ever been. The Memphis Tigers, SMU Mustangs and UCF Knights are arguably the best the conference has to offer.
Any team that would have to play those three squads in consecutive weeks is in for a rough time. They are all excellent offensively, but their defenses do not get enough credit either. This stretch of games could set back a promising start to the season.
That’s what happened to the Temple Owls last night as UCF came into Philadelphia and made big play after big play in the 63-21 drubbing.
