No. 14 Houston visits Colorado on Friday night with three games left in the regular season and a chance to stay in the Big 12 title race. Kickoff is at 10:15 p.m. ET at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. ESPN will carry the game in the United States, and TSN Premium lists it in Canada.

The Cougars (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) begin a two-game road trip against a Colorado team that has lost three straight. The Buffaloes (3-6, 1-5) need to win all three remaining games to reach six victories and standard bowl eligibility.

“You want to be relevant,” Houston coach Willie Fritz said before the latest College Football Playoff rankings were released, according to Field Level Media. The Cougars were No. 17 in the committee’s first rankings and rose to No. 14 this week.

Houston has scored at least 30 points in three straight games and is averaging 203.5 rushing yards a game, according to the school’s game notes. Colorado averages 140.0 rushing yards. The Cougars have 16 rushing touchdowns to Colorado’s nine.

Quarterback Conner Weigman gives Houston another runner to account for. He threw for 222 yards and ran for 83 yards and two touchdowns when the Cougars won last year’s meeting 36-20 in Houston. Friday marks the first time the teams have met in Boulder.

Colorado receiver Joseph Williams enters with 853 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He is a key target against a defense that has eight interceptions and five fumble recoveries. Houston has allowed 30 or more points only once this season.

Colorado plans to stick with quarterback Isaac Wilson and offensive coordinator Brennan Marion as the play caller, The Gazette reported. “We gotta score more,” Colorado coach Deion Sanders said at his Tuesday news conference.

The Buffaloes are 2-2 at Folsom Field. They are coming off a 20-10 loss at Arizona State. Houston will play at West Virginia and close the regular season at home against Baylor. Colorado’s game center has live statistics.
