Memphis Tigers (2-8)

Cougars prepare for struggling Memphis

HOUSTON (AP) Through the big wins and high rankings of this season, the Houston Cougars remained focused on a goal of winning the West division of Conference USA.

After their latest surprising loss, a 37-32 defeat by Central Florida, that goal is in serious jeopardy and reaching it is no longer strictly up to them. No. 24 Houston is in second place in the C-USA West with two games remaining, starting with Saturday's contest against Memphis.

The Cougars (8-2, 4-2 CUSA) will have to win Saturday and next week against Rice to have a chance to play in the conference title game. They would still need division leader SMU to lose at least one of its last two games. (MORE)
