Week seven marked a change for Conference USA football, for the first time this season the league only conducted inter-conference matchups.
In a almost upset, Tulsa struggled to put away a feisty Rice squad. The Owls held 24-21 lead late in the fourth quarter until Golden Hurricanes running back Alex Singleton rumbled in for a one yard touchdown, cementing a 28-24 win. After losing to previously winless Tulane last week, SMU responded with an offensive explosion against Houston, taking down the Cougars 72-43. Against the previously mentioned Green Wave, UTEP earned a 24-20 win despite not scoring any second half points.
In the East, Southern Mississippi’s seven game losing streak continued, falling at home to Marshall 59-24. ECU and UCF recorded road wins as the Knights defeated Memphis 35-17 and the Pirates escaped UAB with a 42-35 victory.
