Houston (5-0)

Revenge was sweet for the Cougars on Thursday, when Houston dismantled the UConn Huskies at home, 42-14. UConn pulled off the upset in Hartford last year giving Houston its only loss of 2015 but Greg Ward Jr. and company were too much for the Huskies this time around. Ward threw for 389 yards and three touchdowns to lead the way for #6 Houston. NEXT: At Navy

USF (4-1)

Quinton Flowers and Marlon Mack made quick work of Cincinnati this weekend in a 45-20 win. Flowers and Mack both ran the ball in twice in what was a close game at half before a 21-0 second half outburst by the Bulls. Cincinnati has now lost back to back games in conference play to two of the best teams in the conference. NEXT: Host ECU

Memphis (3-1)

Much like UConn, the Tigers were not able to pull off an upset against the same team for the second straight year. Memphis was outgunned by the red hot Ole Miss Rebels 48-28 in Oxford, dropping them to 3-1 on the season. Riley Ferguson went 30/44 for 343 yards, but also threw three key interceptions. Chad Kelly had a similar stat line of 30/46, 361 yards, but only threw one pick. Memphis was still able to move the ball against the Rebs, but the defense was simply outmatched and gave up over 600 yards of offense. NEXT: Host Temple on Thursday

Cincinnati (3-2)

Freshman quarterback Ross Trail threw three interceptions in the 45-20 loss to USF that set Cincinnati back to 3-2 on the year. The schedule has been tough in the beginning of conference play but the bearcats would not have been expected to be outscored by 49 points in their first two conference games. NEXT: AT UConn

Tulsa (3-1)

The Golden Hurricanes had the week off following their wild overtime victory over Fresno State last week. Next: Host SMU

Navy (3-1)

Finally a leak came in the Midshipmen’s fleet this week. Navy was knocked off in Colorado Springs by rival Air Force, 28-14. Navy’s offense has just not been the same without quarterback Tago Smith, who was lost in week one. They had navigated their early schedule with some shaky wins but finally a team was able to put up some points on their defense, which had held Navy in games. Big plays of 62- and 75-yards unraveled the game in favor of Air Force. NEXT: Host Houston

UCF (3-2)

A 24-point fourth quarter propelled the Golden Knights to a nice win over ECU on the road, 47-29. UCF scored on a 100-yard kickoff return, a safety, and a pick-six to pull out the win, even while being outgained on offense 521-373. UCF is now 3-2 on the season after going winless in 2015. NEXT: Host Tulane

ECU (2-3)

After a strong showing in out-of-conference play, the Pirates took a big step back in their 47-29 loss to resurgent UCF. They Pirates moved the ball, with Philip Nelson throwing for296 yards and two touchdowns. However, ECU seemed to beat themselves by giving up 9 points while they were on offense, and a special teams touchdown. NEXT: At USF

Temple (3-2)

After a pick-six on their first series of the game, Temple rebounded very nicely against SMU. A 45-20 score line does not even do Temple justice, who ran all over the Mustangs at Lincoln Financial Field. Ryquell Armstead averaged 10.6 yards per carry en route to a two-touchdown, 159-yard game. Jahad Thomas also scored twice on the ground leading Temple to a 35-14 halftime lead. NEXT: At UCF

UConn (2-3)

The Huskies gave up the most points they have in a game all season in a 42-14 drubbing in Houston. It’s the second straight loss for reeling UConn, whose defense has not played to the level it did last year. UConn could not sustain any offense against Houston, rushing for only 62 yards on the day, and allowed 65 to quarterback Greg Ward Jr. alone. NEXT: Host Cincinnati

SMU (2-3)

The Mustangs fell flat in their conference opener. Ben Hicks continued to struggle, throwing for 199 yards and two picks. He did toss a pair of touchdowns, but still did not make reads with the consistency needed to win. His receivers did not do him any favors with several drops however. When Hicks did drop back to pass, he was often under pressure as a makeshift offensive line did not appear to be on the same page. Defensively, SMU’s aggressive secondary was very hit and miss. Jordan Wyatt started the game with a great jump of a route that led to a pick-six, but Temple came back with multiple big plays through the air, which in turn opened up running lanes. SMU has a lot of work to do before their next game at Tulsa, who can move the ball very effectively. NEXT: At Tulsa

Tulane (3-2)

The Green Wave beat UMass this week, but Tulane is yet to have a signature win so far this season. Tulane was sloppy in the first half and trailed 14-0 in the second quarter. Tulane controlled the ball for 40 minutes, and outgained UMass by 136 yards, and yet still barely hung on to the win. NEXT: At USF
