Football Game Preview: Houston Mustangs vs. Germantown Red Devils + How To Watch

The Houston Mustangs are taking a road trip to challenge the Germantown Red Devils at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Houston has given up an average of 31.9 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Houston is headed into the matchup out to prove that what happened against Collierville on Thursday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Mustangs lost 49-27 to the Dragons. Mustangs fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Dragons since Thursday.

Despite a strong season so far, Germantown has seen their luck take a bit of a downturn recently. They came up short against Southwind on Thursday, falling 34-8. The contest marked the Red Devils' lowest-scoring game so far this season.

Houston's loss dropped their record down to 2-7. As for Germantown, their defeat was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 2-1 and their overall record down to 7-3.

Houston might still be hurting after the 44-23 loss they got from Germantown when the teams last played back in August. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Red Devils' Jourdin Shelton, who rushed for 93 yards and one TD, and also threw for 210 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only 18 passes. Now that the Mustangs know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
