Snatching Defeat From Jaws of Victory
How many AAC teams had victory within their vision only to somehow blow late leads?

Immediately coming to my mind was when the Temple team had victory all but clinched only to somehow lose to Army. Obviously yesterday's USF team gave away a victory at home against Houston. I suppose Houston giving up a 14 point lead with just over 5 minutes to play against Memphis might count as well, although they still did have enough time on the clock to potentially pull it out.

Are there any others I missed? I'm sure I have as I haven't followed each game that closely.

Well... We DID have UCF right where we wanted them. But then we just didn't score those last 4 touchdowns...

This season alone Tulsa has lost 2 games on walk off field goals, lost another when a pass was batted down in the endzone on the last play (extra point would have won it), and blew a 2 TD lead to SMU to lose by 4.
