(4-1) Tulsa Golden Hurricanes at (5-1) Houston Cougars

Date: October 15th, 2016

Time: 7:00pm

Location: TDECU Stadium, Texas

TV: ESPN2

How it could help Louisville: You have to be kidding me. How does Houston lose to Navy? Well, what’s done is done and Louisville and Houston fans will need to move on. The good news is that Houston only dropped to the 13th ranked team in the country. It could have been much worse than that, trust me. Houston needs to keep winning so that they can find themselves back into the top ten this year.

Louisville needs their road game at Houston to be a top ten match-up and that won’t happen if Houston loses to Tulsa. I don’t foresee them losing, therefore look for Houston to bounce back in a big way this season and help Louisville’s strength of schedule.
