WHAT’S AT STAKE?
BYU needs a victory over Houston to have a shot at playing for a Big 12 championship after back-to-back losses to Kansas and Arizona State. Even with a win, BYU will still need either a loss by the Sun Devils or Iowa State on Saturday to clinch a title game berth. Houston is trying to play spoiler after failing to reach bowl eligibility for a second straight season.
KEY MATCHUP
BYU running backs LJ Martin and Hinckley Ropati vs. the Houston run defense. Martin and Ropati never quite got on track in a 28-23 loss to Arizona State, combining for just 45 yards on 12 carries. BYU will need big games from the duo. Houston will make it tough to air it out but is inconsistent in stopping the run, losing all six games this season where it has given up more than 100 rushing yards.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Houston: CBs Jeremiah Wilson and A.J. Haulcy could make life tough for BYU’s passing attack. Haulcy leads the Big 12 with five interceptions and Wilson has four. Wilson had two interceptions in Houston’s 20-10 loss to Baylor, including a 41-yard return for a touchdown. He was just the sixth Big 12 defensive player to have two or more interceptions in a league game this season.
BYU: QB Jake Retzlaff will need to start fast and be consistent for BYU to move the chains against a tough Houston defense. Retzlaff threw for 346 yards and a touchdown against Arizona State, but he also tossed a pair of interceptions to the Sun Devils. The redshirt junior has thrown for at least 200 yards in nine of 11 games this season.
