2026 Big 12 Title Game Odds: Utah Favored; BYU, Texas Tech In The Hunt

Amare Thomas - Catches two TDs Saturday Thomas gathered in all six targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-24 victory against Cincinnati.

Impact Thomas caught a pair of touchdowns Saturday, both of which came in the first quarter. He now has eight receiving touchdowns this season, his third consecutive season with at least eight scores. He'll have plenty of opportunities to add to his tally with a favorable stretch of games on the horizon.

Patrick Overmyer - Solid in Saturday's win Overmyer reeled in 4 of 6 targets for 66 yards during Saturday's 31-24 victory against Cincinnati.

Impact Overmyer, who only caught one pass for zero yards last week as he was limited with an injury, bounced back Saturday. He gained over 60 yards for the sixth time this season and once again had a high target share from Conner Weigman. Next up is a favorable matchup at Colorado on Friday.

Makhi Hughes - 97 yards in win Hughes recorded 12 carries for 90 yards and reeled in their only target for seven yards during Saturday's 31-24 win against Cincinnati.

Impact Hughes, coming off his two biggest workloads of the season, stepped back a bit Saturday in favor of Re'Shaun Sanford. The two backs have been difficult to predict this season, though Hughes has remained good production throughout these ups and downs. With a favorable stretch of three games coming up, Sanford will likely receive more work than he did in Weeks 7 or 8, but Hughes will still get plenty of opportunities.

Re'Shaun Sanford II - Bounces back Saturday Sanford notched 15 carries for 126 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 31-24 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Sanford, who was pretty much left out of the gameplan the last two weeks, bounced back with his best performance of the season Saturday. He ran for a season-high 126 yards and scored his first touchdown since Week 2 as he out-carried Makhi Hughes 15 to 12. With a favorable three-game stretch coming up, Sanford should be utilized more evenly alongside Hughes.

Conner Weigman - Three touchdowns in Saturday's win Weigman completed 17 of 24 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-24 victory over Cincinnati. He also had six rushes for 30 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Weigman led the Cougars to an important victory Saturday, accounting for three touchdowns for the seventh time in his last eight games. He completed over 70 percent of his passes too, and both of his passing touchdowns were caught by Amare Thomas in the first quarter. Next up is a favorable matchup at Colorado.

Conner Weigman - Full go ahead of Week 10 Weigman (ankle) is a full go ahead of Week 10 against Cincinnati, per Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle.

Impact Weigman had been battling an ankle injury he suffered in the Week 8 loss to Utah, but the bye week gave him extra time to recover and now he's reportedly a full go ahead of the Cougars' clash with Cincinnati. That's huge for Houston, as the gunslinger has been excellent this season to the tune of 2,052 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and just two interceptions with 249 rushing yards and six scores on the ground to boot.
