Around the American '19-20

[bearcatjd]

My goodness, I hope we don't perform like SMU & Temple. Very embarrassing for the conference!

[London 'Cat]

AAC teams are 1-2 thus far. Not good.

[Lobot]

Pretty bad when a team from Philly doesn't see the Philly Special play coming.

The Tarheels are murdering the Owls midway through the third period, 41-6.

[Lobot]

UCF clobbered Marshall on Monday.

Next up is Temple vs UNC in the Miltary Bowl Friday at 12:00

Cotton Bowl with Memphis Vs Penn St is 12:00 noon at Saturday and that game rolls right up to the CFP semis afterward.

The Mustangs are getting their heads handed to them by FAU in Boca Raton, 42-14, in the 3rd.

[Lobot]

Navy right back in it. SMU has a 100 yd KO return in this game. 21-20 SMU right now

[Lobot]

SMU up 21-10 on Navy at the half.

[swilsonsp4]

UCF held on to beat Tulane in NOLA, 34-31.

ECU barely avoided embarrassment, scoring late to top woeful UConn on the road, 24-17.

Football Scoop reporting Mike Norvell has met with Arkansas. I'd love to have a distracted Memphis on the the final week of the season. Might get us to the Cotton Bowl if we can take care of business on Saturday.

Half: Memphis 28, Houston 20. Tigers raced downfield 98 yards in two minutes to score at 0:19 before the half.

[Lobot]

Tulane had a shot at the end, but a desperation fourth down short pass was dropped & Temple hung on, 29-21. The crowd, frankly, was awful at Lincoln Financial Stadium. The Owls need a smaller venue.

Owls have at least land and design for an on campus stadium. Not sure when or if constrcution has started.



ALso, Houston looking good at home so far against Memphis.

Temple over Tulane 22-14 at the beginning of the 4th. Not sure what Vegas was thinking giving Temple points in this contest. Oh well.

This is going to interesting. Memphis has to play at Houston. Who wants to play defense in this game?

More important is Tulane at Temple. Temple needs to win this to stay in the hunt for the division title. Despite the fact that Temple is good at home and Tulane is lousy on the road, Tulane is somehow favored by Vegas -5.0. Who to root for for? I'd say Tulane. Another conference loss for Temple pretty much ends any chance that UC misses the AAC title game provided we can escape Tampa with a W.
