An old Conference USA matchup transitions into a new league.
Among the six teams that moved from the CUSA to the AAC this offseason, UTSA and Florida Atlantic are the top dogs. Both the Roadrunners and Owls recovered from 1-3 non-conference starts with 2-0 AAC records.
UTSA returned quarterback Frank Harris to start conference play, taking down Temple and UAB in consecutive weeks to get back on track. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic lost starting quarterback Casey Thompson to an ACL injury, but Daniel Richardson provided the Owls victories over Tulsa and North Texas to revert to .500 on the season.
