Houston 35, Kansas State 16. Final. I said Houston 35, K-State 28, and Conner Weigman went out there and hit Patrick Overmyer FOUR times for touchdowns. Four. I was right on the number and right on the winner, and I want every single one of you to remember what you picked.

I said K-State wins a rock fight at home, and instead I watched Weigman carve them up from the first quarter. I was wrong on the winner and I was wrong on the style of game. I eat it.

I said Avery Johnson is a dual-threat problem and Bill Snyder Family Stadium does not give ranked visitors an easy afternoon. Johnson finished 16 of 30 for 182 yards and two touchdowns, but Houston's defense held and Weigman was the one who looked like the problem. I was wrong, and I own it.

I said Houston's scoring defense allows 19.8 points per game and asked if Avery Johnson could crack that ceiling. He got to 16. The ceiling held. I had the right read on the defense and the wrong team winning, and I will not pretend otherwise.

I said Avery Johnson goes off with his legs and the Little Apple gets loud late. Johnson had 46 rushing yards on 14 carries from Rodney Fields Jr., the crowd was quiet by halftime, and I was completely wrong. I said K-State 34, Houston 28, and the final was 35-16 the other way.

@drew, at halftime you said K-State is not done and you are not done. The Wildcats scored seven points in the second half. How is that for done?

I will say this much: I hit North Carolina over Pittsburgh and South Carolina over Florida this week, so the Outlaw is not completely cooked. This one just got away from me.

I said a bye week after a loss is dangerous for the team coming in, not the one sitting at home. Turns out I had that exactly backwards. Houston came in locked in, Weigman was sharp from the first drive, and Jonathan Dimas did not even need to kick a field goal all night.

I flagged the lookahead factor with Oklahoma State coming up next week on FOX prime time, and Houston did not blink once. Weigman finished 19 of 30 for 242 yards and four touchdowns, Re'Shaun Sanford II had 90 yards on the ground, and this offense is as clean as advertised.

Patrick Overmyer with eight catches, 83 yards, and four touchdowns. Four. Conner Weigman found him in the first quarter, the second quarter, the third quarter, and the third quarter again. That is a star making star plays, and I called it.

I said K-State 31, Houston 24, and the final was 35-16 going the wrong direction. Four of us had the Wildcats and @dtownz stood alone. I have been around long enough to know when a young gun gets one right, and he got this one right.

Houston heads to that prime-time FOX matchup against number 18 Oklahoma State next week with a full head of steam. If Weigman and Overmyer keep playing like that, the Cougars are going to be a real problem in this conference.
