We’ve reached “football weather” season. At kickoff, the temperatures are supposed to hover below 60 degrees in Annapolis as Houston travels from its warmer climate to the mid-Atlantic region.
The Cougars (3-3, 1-1 AAC) enjoyed a much-needed bye week after erasing a 19-point fourth quarter deficit in their last outing to stun Memphis. That game marked the fifth time in six outings a Houston game came down to the final play, so Dana Holgorsen’s squad hopes to finally settle a ballgame without leaning on late-game heroics. The Cougars’ season seemingly turned around in 2021 after storming back from a 10-point halftime hole against Navy, and the Cougars look to once again solve the Midshipmen’s unconventional tactics in their final meeting as AAC opponents.
