STORRS, Conn. (AP) No. 13 Houston has its sights set on winning the American Athletic Conference championship, completing an undefeated season and getting a New Year's Day Bowl bid.
But none of that will be possible if the Cougars don't first win Saturday at UConn (5-5, 3-3 American).
The Huskies are at home, coming off a bye week and needing one win to become bowl eligible for the first time since the 2010 season. Houston coach Tom Herman said he's told his team that this has all the makings of a trap game and to prepare accordingly.
