Better Know an AAC Opponent: The Houston Cougars

Houston is one of the fastest rising teams in the nation thanks to a dynamite offense and a 7-0 start - but can they handle a top 20 Vanderbilt Commodore defense? Here's what you need to know about the Cougars and their terrible home city.

The School: The University of Houston

Record: 7-0 (4-0 in the AAC). Their conference wins? 3-4 Tulsa, 1-6 SMU, 2-5 Tulane, and 0-8 UCF. Nobody tell the AAC that Austin Peay is available for 2016.
