Things to know
Houston’s Bryce Beall AP PHOTO
Double coverage Today’s matchup to watch: Houston HB Bryce Beall vs. Cowboys LB Donald Booker Most of the talk surrounding the Cougars offense has been focused on quarterback Case Keenum. But Beall, a sophomore from Tatum, Texas, was the Conference USA Freshman of the Year after running for 1,254 yards in 2008. Stopping him is one key to slowing Houston’s offense.
Bringing the lumber Today’s player to watch: Johnny Thomas, S, Oklahoma State Lost in the punishing hits of Lucien Antoine was the physical play of sophomore safety Johnny Thomas against Georgia. Thomas made some big hits of his own against Georgia, and he is part of a group of OSU safeties who will be tested by Keenum’s passing. In the crosshairs Today’s player who will be tested: Marcus McGraw, LB, Houston Just a sophomore, McGraw led the Cougars in tackles as a freshman with 103 but had just five against OSU a year ago. Houston will be counting on McGraw to play better if they expect to corral Kendall Hunter. Watch out for... Unknown opposing player who could make an impact: Charles Sims, RB, Houston The true freshman from Houston Westbury played a Reggie Bush-esqe role for the Cougars in their opener. Sims had six catches for 128 yards and one touchdown in his first collegiate game. Clippings Oklahoma State 51 … Houston 31 “Remember last year’s game between these two, won by Oklahoma State, 56-37? This version could wind up being a carbon copy. Houston will score, but its inability to make timely stops or turnovers will eventually wear it out in the second half. The Cowboys will go up and down the field with very little resistance, racking up over 600 yards of total offense and win No. 2.” — CollegeFootballNews.com By Brandon Chatmon
