For the final time after a decade-long run, American Athletic Conference logos, branding, and signage adorned TDECU Stadium in Houston, TX. The 2022 Houston Cougars’ sendoff AAC season had been a farewell tour of sorts, as they played many well-acquainted opponents for the last time in the foreseeable future.
One of those opponents was Tulsa, which traveled one state south in hopes of spoiling the Cougars’ last AAC game and senior day. The Golden Hurricane, ineligible for bowl contention with seven losses, still enjoyed a triumphant finale to the 2022 season by stunning Houston on the road, 37-30.
