Houston (5-1) looks to keep its Big 12 title hopes alive when it hosts Arizona (4-2) on Saturday at TDECU Stadium.
The Cougars have been tough to beat at home and enter as slight favorites after rebounding from their loss to Texas Tech. With QB Donovan Smith finding his rhythm again, Houston’s balanced offense could test an Arizona defense that’s struggled in key moments on the road.
For Arizona, Noah Fifita’s poise has kept them competitive, but last week’s double-overtime loss to BYU was a gut punch. The Wildcats handled Houston easily last season in Tucson, but this matchup feels far trickier away from home.
Expect a tight, back-and-forth battle. One that may come down to who makes the last big throw in the fourth quarter.
