2018 Football Preview – AAC – Cougars
Looking for 2018 Houston Cougars predictions? The Cougars looked like they were becoming one of the elite mid major football programs in all the land, and then last season happened. They still finished with a 7-5 record, but that isn’t good enough, especially in a pretty bad AAC conference. They had losses to a bad Tulsa and a bad Tulane team and that isn’t acceptable for a program like this.

2018 Houston Cougars Predictions: Team Strengths
The New System has Hope : Kendal Briles has been brought in as offensive coordinator, and they are expecting big changes under him.
He is going to play a spread type offense that is up tempo and should feature a lot of no huddle and a lot of scoring too.
D’Eriq King is the new quarterback and he was built for a system like this. He is a bit undersized, but he is quick and should be able to run this offense to a tee.
Once King took over last year the offense got clicking and under Briles that should be even more of the case.

If you like watching a lot of scoring make sure to tune into the Cougars games, because it’s going to be a whole lot of fun.
What a D-Line: This is going to be one of the best D lines in college football and they are going to wreck havoc up front.
Last year the defense was a whole lot to handle and they got even better with TCU transfer Isiah Chamber being added to the mix.
The Cougars defense better get their tents, because they are going to be camped in the backfield of the opponents.
2018 Houston Cougars Predictions: Team Weaknesses
This Team is used to losing: Finding weaknesses for this team might be hard, but they have been a team that have become used to losing big games.
It seems they lose one or two big games a year that throws off their whole season, and that can’t be the case again this year.

Houston Cougars Prediction: 7-5
There is no question that this team is going to be better then last year, and I think this is the year they get over the losing of the bad games.
Arizona and Texas Tech are going to be tough, but I think they will find a way to win one of those games in an upset.
[dfads params=’groups=219&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
They will lose only one game in conference play, and that will lead to a 10-2 record and an AAC championship to add to the collection.
