The Tiger football team will play its 17th and final season as a member of Conference USA this fall. There are three other programs — currently in C-USA — that were football-playing members of the league for the inaugural season of 1996. Who are those teams, and what is the Tigers’ record against each in C-USA play?
• Houston (Tigers are 5-7 against the Cougars)
• Southern Miss (Tigers are 5-11 against the Golden Eagles)
• Tulane (Tigers are 8-3 against the Green Wave and have won the last six meetings)
