Game Preview
On October 12th, TDECU Stadium will host the much hyped NCAAF match involving the Houston Cougars and the West Virginia Mountaineers. This game has the potential to be among the finest in the Big 12 throughout the weekend since both teams have shown considerable power and tenacity on both sides of the ball. A pivotal matchup will be played since Houston is 2-3 and West Virginia is 4-1 as they travel. This one might go either direction given the level of familiarity of the coaching staff despite the lack of previous encounters on the field.
West Virginia was predicted to be considered one of the Big 12’s weakest sides this season, but unexpectedly, they appear set to challenge for the conference’s top spot. Since Coach Dana left, the West Virginia Mountaineers have developed an entirely distinct identity. They focus solely on running the ball as well as playing defense. They attempt to run the ball nine times more than any other team in the nation while Garrett Greene is their quarterback, but they rank 32nd in rushing yards and 70th in yards per attempt. Whenever they pass, they rank 58th in yards for each completion yet 127th in attempts, meaning Greene moves the ball further into the field.
Houston entered their first Big 12 season with high expectations, but they have had trouble creating an impression on their opponents. They just suffered a road loss by 21 points, and during their Big 12 debut versus TCU, they were completely outplayed at home. Houston’s defense may not be adequately equipped for repelling such an attack. With 6.0 yards per play allowed including 98th versus the run, the Cougars rank 98th overall. To outscore WVU ought to be their objective. Houston ranks 74th in yards per play and 54th overall in total offense. Featuring Donovan Smith at quarterback, they rank 26th in the passing game and 12th in pass attempts.
