Notable Week 6 results – Standings
UTSA hangs on
The rematch of last year’s conference championship game did not disappoint. Back and forth the game went before UTSA was able to pull out the win, cementing themselves as the frontrunners in the conference at the midpoint of the season.
UAB bounces back
The Blazers left Houston last weekend with a sour taste in their mouths, knowing they could have played better and eager to get back on the field soon. They took out there frustrations on Middle Tennessee, blasting the Blue Raiders from the jump to keep themselves in the running for the conference title.
Miners back-and-forth season continues
It’s been a wild ride for UTEP this season and it doesn’t seem to be slowing any time soon. The Miners missed an opportunity to get closer to back-to-back bowl berths, dropping a high-scoring affair to Louisiana Tech.
Looking ahead – Key storylines
Get ready for some fireworks
One of the best rivalries in Conference USA takes center stage as WKU visits MTSU. The Hilltoppers have won six of the last seven in this series, which is tied at 35-35-1 all-time. Both teams have shown the ability to put up points in bunches. Even if the defenses do have decent days, it feels like it’s going to take 40+ points to win this one.
All Owls
FAU and Rice entered the bye week headed in opposite directions. The Rice Owls knocked off UAB to improve to 3-2. FAU lost to North Texas to fall to 2-4. Both teams would love to start the second half of their seasons with a win and keep pace in their aspirations for a bowl berth. That starts this coming Saturday in Boca Raton.
A very quiet 3-0?
Not many speculative conference title conversations during the preseason featured North Texas as a potential team in the mix. Already 2-0 and atop the conference standings, the Mean Green can move to 3-0 with a home win over Louisiana Tech in Week 7. The schedule does get tougher, but North Texas has the potential to put itself in the earlier conversation with a win here.
