State of the AAC: Cincinnati stays perfect, SMU wins big

With conference play well underway in the American Athletic Conference, teams continue to fight to stay near the top of the AAC standings.

Here is how each AAC team who was in action this past weekend fared:

Houston (2-3, 2-2 AAC) vs No. 6 Cincinnati (6-0, 4-0)

Cincinnati, who entered Saturday’s contest against the Cougars as the No. 6 ranked team in the country, cruised to a 38-10 victory over Houston behind a strong rushing performance.

Senior running back Gerrid Doaks set the tone for the game early as he broke loose a 72-yard run on the Bearcats’ third offensive play of the game to get the ball all the way to the Houston 3-yard line.
