Here are some key matchups to look for when Vanderbilt University visits Houston Saturday.
Houston’s offense vs. Vanderbilt’s defense
The No. 18 Cougars have a potent and high-powered offense that can move the ball and score easily. Houston is No. 5 in the nation in yardage, averaging 561 yards per game.
Houston also averages 47 points per game, good enough to be No. 4. They’re led by the rushing threat posed by Greg Ward Jr., who’s tied with Louisiana State University’s Leonard Fournette for the most rushing touchdowns in the nation with 15 and Kenneth Farrow who has eight touchdowns of his own.
