The Cougars have shown both resilience and vulnerability in their recent performances, leaving supporters and analysts alike pondering which version of the team will show up on game day.
The Cougars' last outing was a challenging one as they were unable to put points on the board against a dominant home side, resulting in a 41-0 defeat. This shutout is indicative of some offensive struggles that need addressing if they hope to compete with Kansas State's defense.
Looking back at previous games, there's been a mix of close calls and tough losses.

Their defense managed three sacks but couldn't stop Texas from taking control.
However, not all recent memories are disheartening for Cougar fans. In Week 7, they edged out West Virginia Mountaineers in an electrifying game that ended with a narrow victory of 41-39 for Houston. The offense clicked well that day; passing was particularly effective with four touchdowns through the air and an overall rating above 200.
In contrast, their performance against Texas Tech Red Raiders during Week 5 highlighted some defensive issues as they conceded 49 points while managing to score only 28 themselves despite accumulating nearly 500 total yards on offense.
As we approach this crucial matchup on October 28th at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, KS, it's clear that consistency will be key for Houston. They'll need their offense firing on all cylinders while tightening up defensively to avoid giving away easy scores.
