When No. 18 Memphis (8-1, 4-1, No. 18 CFP) rolls into TDECU Stadium on homecoming Saturday to face Houston in yet another top-25 matchup, the Cougars will be longshots to win.
UH, sitting at fifth in the American Athletic Conference West at 3-6 overall and 1-4 in the AAC, is no stranger to being the dark horse this season, and Week 12 will be no different.
“Underdogs again”
Four ranked teams have lined up against the Cougars in 2019, and Houston lost on each occasion.
“We have been underdogs in almost every game we played this year,” head coach Dana Holgorsen said.
