- Houston held Oregon State to 26 net rushing yards on 25 attempts, a total including four sacks for 39 lost yards; the Beavers' top two backs still averaged only a little over three yards per carry. The preview highlights Houston's run defense as a challenge for Texas Tech while noting Oregon State had more success through the air. Net rushing totals are not pure running-back efficiency. - The writer sees J'Koby Williams as Texas Tech's only productive back through two games and argues for him to receive most touches if Cameron Dickey and Quentin Joyner do not improve. Joyner scored a touchdown but also drew an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty against Oregon State. This is an analyst's workload recommendation, not a reported depth-chart change or an injury report. - For Texas Tech, the preview's proposed passing route is enough rushing production from J'Koby Williams to slow Houston's pass rush and create opportunities for Will Hammond. It also identifies backup quarterback Thomas Castellanos' running ability as a possible additional option. Neither a two-quarterback package nor a changed role for Castellanos is confirmed.

- Pick/market: Texas Tech goes three-and-out coming out of half and Oregon State goes 76 yards in 6 plays and scores to cut it to 14-13.

- Injury: With the Wednesday night update Miles and Harrison-Pilot were moved to out and Jordan, TC and Trey White were all moved from probable to questionable.
