Logan Collier, Staff Writer: The battle for Iowa state supremacy is upon us, the Cyclones come home with the upset. Houston 35, Texas 28 Iowa State (1-0) at Iowa (1-0), Saturday, 3 p.m. Houston 38, Texas Tech 20Ĭonnor Zimmerlee, Staff Writer: Houston looked beatable against UTSA in Week 1, but they shake off the rust and secure a road win over Texas Tech. They'll be coming for blood in Lubbock against Donovan Smith and the Red Raiders' offensive line. Houston 31, Texas Tech 27Ĭole Thompson, Staff Writer: The Cougars are coming off a grueling win against UTSA on the road. Even on the road, I think the Cougs' added motivation from last season's loss gives them a slight edge. For me, it comes down to if Tech’s defense can hold up against a Houston offense that returns many of the same key weapons from a season ago, weapons like Nathaniel Dell and Clayton Tune that propelled the Cougs to a triple-overtime win over UTSA on Saturday. Many of Houston’s top players on both sides of the ball are former Texas Tech players, making this matchup all the more intriguing. The Red Raiders have had a mini in-state rivalry going with the Cougars over the past couple of seasons. Zach Dimmitt, Staff Writer: Tech quarterback Donovan Smith has a tough test in front of him after having just a week to prepare as the starter following Tyler Shough’s injury. Logan Collier, Staff Writer: This in-state battle should be a barn burner, but Texas Tech comes out on top.
