Bowl Projections: Oklahoma State vs Houston Would Be Epic Fiesta Bowl Matchup
This bowl season, the best Fiesta Bowl matchup would come if Oklahoma State and Houston played each other, providing fireworks the likes of which we have never seen.
The teams have the two best passing offenses in the country, and they score the most points per game.
Houston averages 449.7 yards passing and 52.7 points per game. Led by quarterback Case Keenum and a plethora of receivers including Patrick Edwards and Justin Johnson, this passing attack has dominated college football.
Oklahoma State averages 401.6 passing yards and 49.8 points per game, both of which are second in the country behind only Houston. Wide receiver Justin Blackmon is a future pro, and he has quarterback Brandon Weeden throwing to him. The combo of Weeden-to-Blackmon is arguably the best in the nation.
These two teams are always scoring a ton of points, and with shaky defenses we could easily see both teams top 50 points.
While some fans (including myself) prefer defensive struggles like we saw between LSU and Alabama on Nov. 5, other fans love to see touchdowns, and this game would certainly have them.
Keenum and Weeden; Edwards and Blackmon; this game would give us well over 100 points total, and I don't care what the over/under is, I'm taking the over.
These defenses can't stop much, and there is no way they could stop each other.
The Cougars allow 20.9 points per game playing against cupcake teams. They have not played an offense that is even close to the same caliber as Oklahoma State, and they will certainly be overwhelmed if these two teams play.
The Cowboys give up 27.3 points per game, and they have not faced an offense as prolific as Houston's.
These two teams would put up some serious points, and it would give fans exactly what they want—one game of pure defense and another of pure offense.
