Ep 55. BYU at Houston

After a thrilling four-game stretch that saw the BYU Cougars outscore their opponents by a 148-24 margin, they face their toughest test yet as they travel to Houston to take on the Cougars of the AAC. Both teams are coming off of exhilarating victories in their previous contests, with BYU taking down Louisiana Tech 45-14 and Houston knocking off Tulane 49-31.

BYU has been led by the stellar play of quarterback Zach Wilson, who has thrown for 1,241 yards and eight touchdowns in just four games. He's also added three touchdowns on the ground, displaying his versatility as a playmaker. Wilson will look to lead the Cougars to victory in their first-ever matchup against Houston.

On the other side of the ball, Houston's offensive attack is led by quarterback Clayton Tune, who has thrown for 922 yards and six touchdowns so far this season. Their rushing attack is also potent, with running backs Kyle Porter and Mulbah Car providing an effective one-two punch in the backfield.

Defensively, BYU has been dominant all season, allowing just 6 points per game and shutting out their opponents twice. They'll look to continue that strong play against Houston's high-powered offense. Houston, meanwhile, has struggled defensively at times this season, giving up an average of 34 points per game. They'll need to shore up their defense if they hope to contain BYU's explosive offensive attack.
