The 3 Ts (Temple, Tulsa, Tulane), all have bye weeks this week, as does USF. Two conference games are on the schedule, starting with Thursday night’s big game in which UC will visit Memphis at the Liberty Bowl. The Bearcats can’t even think about rooting against Temple unless they bring home a win. Other than the Thursday Night Special, there aren’t really any compelling matchups on the slate – but this is the last week before conference play really kicks into full swing.
This game is a must win for the Bearcats if they are to have an chance to play in the AAC title game.
