Here’s how you can watch Thursday night’s Houston vs Cincinnati game at Nippert Stadium online.

Houston opened the year as the No. 15 team in the country with arguably the best matchup on college football’s Week 1 radar against No. 3 Oklahoma. The Cougars came out on top in upset fashion, defeating the Sooners 33-23 and moving into the top 10, all the way to No. 6.

The Cougars stayed at No. 6 after Week 2 following a blowout of Lamar at home even without Heisman-hopeful Greg Ward Jr. under center. The senior dual-threat was out with a nagging shoulder injury and should play Thursday against Cincinnati. He has passed for 321 yards and two touchdowns in one game this year.

Junior receivers Steven Dunbar and Linell Bonner look to be breakout candidates as the two are on pace to shatter their previous career-bests. They have combined for 16 catches for 241 yards and have the potential to put up big numbers in this one as well. The Cougars have had no problem running the ball either as they have three 100-yard rushers through two games.

Cincinnati gave the Cougars a run for their money in 2016, coming within four points of a major upset that would have shaken up the college football landscape. Hosting Houston in Week 3, the Bearcats have a legitimate shot to knock off one of the top College Football Playoff contenders in the nation.

Sophomore quarterback Hayden Moore is starting in the biggest game of his career. He has looked sharp through two games, leading the Bearcats to a 2-0 mark with 510 yards and five touchdowns while completing 61 percent of his throws. Devin Gray and Nate Cole will need to step up big again as they’ve combined for 21 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns in 2016.
