00:00
Let's head to Houston, where scoring has been at a premium for the Cougars in their first
00:08
year with Willie Fritz.
00:10
Just 14 points per game, they are the worst scoring offense in the country.
00:15
But K-State defensively, Joe, has not been all that solid.
00:19
You see the total, 45 and a hook.
00:22
Houston has gone under in seven of eight games this year.
00:24
They've only scored more than 17 points twice.
00:28
K-State still very much alive in the Big 12 title race, despite dropping their first
00:32
conference game against BYU.
00:35
Third best number for the Wildcats, Joe.
00:37
What do you want to see out of K-State today on the road?
00:39
I want to see Avery Johnson attack that secondary.
00:41
Statistically, Houston only giving up 173 passing yards per game.
00:46
It looks good, but they're allowing 61% completion percentage, have allowed 13 touchdowns, and
00:52
only four six interceptions.
00:54
So they have had success through the year opposing offenses.
00:57
Willie Fritz has done a fantastic job.
00:59
I say that.
01:00
Three and a half win total, a rebuild after Holgerson.
01:03
They did pick up the victory, believe it or not, over Utah.
01:06
They can't score, but they scored more than the Utes last week, 17 to 14.
01:11
Zeon Chris did account for 100 total yards taken over for Donovan Smith.
01:16
They're going to look to run it short in the game, but I need to see K-State.
01:20
We know they can run it.
01:21
I need to see Avery Johnson attack them over the top with that passing attack.
01:26
They're averaging 211 through the air.
01:28
The K-State wins, but I'm going to take the points with Houston at home.
01:32
They can be spunky.
01:33
Willie Fritz, I like as a dog.
01:35
Eileen, K-State here because of everything you mentioned with Houston's inability to
01:38
score.
01:39
I mean, Zeon, I mean, you said it like it was a good thing.
01:42
Like the quarterback at 100 total yards of offense, he ran for 45.
01:47
He threw for 61.
01:48
That's a good effort for a backup.
01:51
Have you watched Donovan Smith, former Texas Tech quarterback, end up this year?
01:58
Not a good effort.
01:59
I will not let that be said.
02:01
Now I love K-State.
02:02
I K-State by quite a lot.
02:03
Houston 3-3 against the spread this year as a dog.
02:07
K-State, one of the best cover teams in the Big 12 with Chris Kleiman.
02:11
Last two years, though, away from the Little Apple is 2-6-1 ATS.
