Houston can cap off a magical season tomorrow with a win over East Division winner Southern Miss. The Cougars carry a
perfect 12-0 record into the championship clash and they have hardly been challenged this season with only UCLA, Louisiana Tech, and UTEP finishing within 25 points of them.
Houston has been particularly special down the stretch, beating its last seven opponents by an average of 41.1 points per game. Case Keenum, who leads the Cougars top ranked offense (52.7 points per game), threw for 2721 yards and 29 touchdowns (one interception) in those seven wins, vaulting him to the top of the Heisman Trophy list.
Should Keenum post similar numbers against a Southern Miss defense that is allowing just 20.5 points and 338.4 yards per game, he might secure his name on the coveted award. He would need to do it in victory, though, and that may be easier said than done.
The Golden Eagles are, in all probability, the best team Houston has faced this season. Southern Miss owns a 10-2 record and both of its losses are inexplicble as they came to far inferior squads in Marshall and UAB. The Eagles did earn quality wins against teams like Louisiana Tech, Virginia, Navy, and SMU, and their offense ranks near the top of the FBS with a 36.9 point per game average.
Clearly Houston carries more momentum into this game, but the Cougars can expect a big effort from Southern Miss as it looks to make amends for a 2006 Championship Game loss (34-20).
