The No. 8 Texas Longhorns will be facing off against the Houston Cougars in Week 8. It’s Texas’ first game following their bye week after the heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma in Week 6.
Houston is not a very solid team. They allow more points than they score and do not have a consistent defense that can stop drives. The main component in beating this Cougars team will be stopping quarterback Donovan Smith.
Smith is one of the best players on the Houston roster. He’s thrown for 1,600 yards, 13 touchdowns, and holds a 66.2 completion percentage. Stopping Smith will be the main factor in shutting down their offense.
Here are a few players to look out for in Texas’ matchup against Houston this weekend.
