Vanderbilt football plays its final non-conference game of the season in a spooky Halloween night tilt with the undefeated Houston Cougars. At 7-0, Houston is one of three remaining undefeated teams in the All-American Athletic Conference of America, alongside No. 16 Memphis and No. 21 Temple. The only prior meeting between these two schools was the 2014 BBVA Compass Bowl, a 41-24 Vanderbilt win and James Franklin’s final game as Commodore head coach. This is the first season in which every SEC team is required to play a non-conference game against a major-conference school, and the Cougars will fulfill that requirement for Vandy in 2015.
