- High-scoring showdown — No. 20 Houston (5-1) averages 40.0 PPG vs No. 18 Oklahoma State (4-1) at 38.2; Cougars are 3.5-point favorites with a 60.5 total, so expect fireworks (and a fun over/under debate).
- Quarterback duel to watch — Conner Weigman (15 TDs, 1 INT, 66.7% completion) vs Drew Mestemaker (1,575 yards, 13 TDs, four 300-yard games); both offenses have been hot.
- Turnovers and pressure could decide it — Houston is +4 in turnover margin with 12 sacks, while Oklahoma State is -3 in giveaways but has 9 sacks, so turnovers and the pass rush matter.
