State of the AAC: Cougars, Knights win big in Week 2

Another week, another decent showing from the American Athletic Conference’s football programs.

While Cincinnati was completely obliterated in the conference’s spotlight matchup against Ohio State Saturday afternoon, the AAC ended Week 2 of college football with a respectable showing, winning six of 10 matchups.

In a 37-17 win over Prairie View A&M, Houston aided the AAC in going 6-4 over the second weekend of play.

Thanks to two rushing touchdowns by senior quarterback D’Eriq King, junior running back Kyle Porter’s score and junior kicker Dalton Witherspoon’s three field goals, the Cougars joined other AAC teams in cruising to victory.
