No. 17 Houston is in complete control of its fate in the American Athletic Conference after its win over South Florida.
The Cougars are close to securing the West Division and could lock a place in the conference championship in the next two weeks.
If Houston beats SMU and South Florida defeats Tulane, the Homecoming game versus Temple would be Houston’s chance to win the West.
It’s not all smooth sailing, however, as the team is struggling with multiple injuries. Top defensive back senior Garrett Davis, who broke his foot against Texas Tech, and sack leader Isaiah Chambers, who injured his knee against Tulsa, are out for the season.
