The Cougars have won the last three games played between the two teams.
Houston Cougars
The Houston Cougars got off to a fast start to the season but they have really struggled to close out the season losing three of the last four games.
In their last game against the Memphis Tigers they put up 31 points but the defense really struggled giving up 52 points and that led to a bad loss.
All season the offense has been good averaging 46.4 points per game, but on the defensive side they have struggled giving up 34.4 points per game.

On offense, the Cougars are were led by D’Eriq King who has thrown for 2982 yards, 36 touchdowns and six touchdowns. In this game it’s going to take a good offensive effort from him.
He is out for the season though with a knee injury and the team will have Clayton Tune under center.
On the defensive side of the ball, they are going to need to find a way to slow down the Black Knights triple option attack.
Army Black Knights
On the other side of this matchup is the Army Black Knights who are having one of the better seasons in recent memory.
They come into this game having won seven games in a row and nine of their last ten. The only loss during that stretch was by seven points against Oklahoma.
For the Black Knights they run the triple option and try to lean on a strong defense. In each of the last three games they have given up 14 points or less.

In this game that strong defense is going to need to be good again. They held the Sooners to 28 points and it’s probably going to take a similar effort in this one.
If the defense struggles in this game they probably don’t have the offensive firepower to keep up.
