Conner Weigman Throws 4 TD Passes, Runs for 2 Scores as No. 25 Houston Beats Georgia Southern 42-28
Houston scored touchdowns on its first six possessions and piled up 441 total yards in a fourth straight 400-yard game, officials said.
On Saturday, quarterback Conner Weigman threw four touchdown passes and rushed for two scores, leading Houston to a 42-28 victory over Georgia Southern in coach Willie Fritz's return to Statesboro.
Houston rebounded from a Big 12 Conference loss last weekend by scoring touchdowns on its first six possessions, establishing an early lead that helped the Cougars pull away from the Eagles.
The Cougars amassed 441 total yards of offense, with Weigman distributing touchdown passes to four different receivers including Traville Frederick Jr., Koby Young, Amare Thomas, and Trent Walker.
Max Johnson kept Georgia Southern within striking distance, completing 26 of 38 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns, though the Eagles ultimately fell to 1-3 after their third consecutive loss.
Next Saturday, the Cougars host UCF for Big 12 Conference action, while the Eagles travel to Coastal Carolina for their Sun Belt Conference opener.
