Around the American ‘20-21

10:10 4th: UCF 45, @ USF 38. Bulls just scored after picking off Gabriel deep in UCF territory.

USF got the ball back, but immediately fumbled. The Knights took advantage and scored quickly, then found paydirt again. The Bulls tacked on a late TD. 58-46 final.

Tulane has lost its OC. Will Hall is the new HC at Southern Miss

I’m trying to find a link here but apparently, the Tulsa Navy game has some importance for the AAC championship. If Tulsa were to lose this game and also lose to UC on 12/12, you then have scenarios where Memphis or Houston could end up in the Championship depending on how things fall. Neither of them played Tulsa this year so there’s no head to head tie breaker. Memphis wasn’t scheduled to and Houston that game postponed last weekend.

UCF’s McKenzie Milton is in the transfer portal. I guess Josh Heupel isn’t going to let him play at all?

If he plays McKenzie, then he could lose Dillon Gabriel who has two (or three) more years eligibility. tough call on a great story, but probably best for McKenzie to transfer and transform a program to show any NFL team he is worthy.

SMU vs Houston is canceled. I think this is the deep six for both schools hope of getting to the AAC Championship. Looks like it’s down to Tulsa and Memphis

Scoreboard for this week:

The Tulsa at Navy game is a bit important for the conference.

We really need Tulsa to win that game to keep our SOS up. We need to beat another ranked team this year... hopefully twice. Otherwise BYU wins today and possibly passes us

Tulane just took down Memphis, 35-21. Thet doesn’t help UC.

Early 2nd: Tulsa 0, @ Navy 0. The Cats could lose another Top 25 foe, if the Midshipmen prevail.

It doesn't. It also eliminates Memphis from the AAC Championship. We're locked into UC vs Tulsa regardless of what happens to Tulsa today and next week. Honestly the only reason why either school should want to play next week is that Tulsa would have to give up a home game and come to Nippert for the CCG which probably won't fly.

Tulsa is up at half 6-3 over Navy. Tulsa has been a second half team all year.

[swilsonsp4]

Half: Tulsa 6, Navy 3 (Oops, too late)

[swilsonsp4]

Final: Tulsa 19-6. Their D is good; offense not so much.
