No. 21 Houston faces SEC’s Auburn in Birmingham Bowl
By The Associated Press
No. 21 Houston will face Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl, a couple of hours from the Tigers’ campus. The Cougars had won 11 straight games before falling to playoff-bound Cincinnati in the American Athletic Conference championship game. The Tigers are 6-6 after dropping their last four regular-season games. But they did take No. 1 Alabama into four overtimes before falling 24-22. The game is Dec. 28 at the new Protective Stadium.
