Week one of college football brought some interesting results to the Big 12 and their squads. The Baylor Bears fell to the Auburn Tigers and the Colorado Buffaloes fell to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Meanwhile, the Iowa State Cyclones continued their winning ways and the TCU Horned Frogs made a statement against Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels.

The Bayou Bucket rivalry heats up as the undefeated Houston Cougars face off against the equally unblemished Rice Owls in what could be the final installment of this storied matchup. This historic encounter marks the first time both teams enter the game undefeated outside of a season opener, raising the stakes to unprecedented levels. Hosts Parker Ainsworth and Steve Helwick dive deep into the intricacies of this compelling showdown. They explore Rice's innovative "gun option" offense, a unique blend of Nebraska's classic 90s option and Oregon's modern spread attack, which has been turning heads and confounding defenses. The spotlight then shifts to Houston's defensive standout, Jalen Garner, whose impact on the field has been nothing short of game-changing. The hosts also scrutinize the Cougars' offensive performance, highlighting the urgent need for increased involvement from the wide receiver corps to unlock the team's full potential. A key focus of the episode is the battle in the trenches. Houston's developing offensive line faces a stern test against Rice's formidable defensive front, a matchup that could well determine the outcome of this crucial game.
