Weigman Throws 5 TD Passes to Lead No. 20 Houston to a 35-32 Win over No. 18 Oklahoma State
Weigman threw 5 touchdown passes and Houston gained 505 yards in a Big 12 win that ended Oklahoma State’s four-game streak.
On Saturday, No. 20 Houston defeated Oklahoma State 35-32 in a Big 12 shootout, with Cougars quarterback Conner Weigman throwing for 343 yards and five touchdown passes.
Poor tackling by the Cowboys defense allowed Houston to gain 505 total yards and exploit explosive plays; Oklahoma State struggled early, scoring just three points in the first half.
Cowboys quarterback Drew Mestemaker threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Caleb Hawkins added 125 receiving yards and a score. The teams combined for 794 yards of total offense.
The loss snapped Oklahoma State's four-game winning streak and complicated their Big 12 title hopes. Houston, now 6-1, maintained realistic conference championship aspirations with this pivotal home victory.
Oklahoma State hosts Colorado next Saturday as they seek to rebound from the defeat. Houston remains in the Big 12 title hunt with Utah looming on its schedule.
