1. Both of these offenses are what makes the AAC unique

Both teams showcased why their players are among the best in the conference. Combining for over 1,400 yards and constant action is what makes the American Athletic Conference so excited.

The Big 12 moderated the “no defense” conference, with majority of the teams using spread offenses and spreading the field out to create the deep plays.

Most of these high-octane offenses were through the Mike Leach era at Texas Tech. To the Art Briles era at Baylor, to now Oklahoma with Lincoln Riley.

The two teams that have stayed consistent as the best in the AAC has been UCF and Memphis. With their first victory in the last five attempts, Memphis made big and key plays down the stretch. UCF set themselves up to win the game, but could not cash in on the last second opportunity.

Non stop action is what makes college football fun, and UCF vs. Memphis provided with an instant classic of offense.

UCF’s next matchup will be against Tulane. Meanwhile, for the Tigers, they will stay home to play Temple.
