Oklahoma St @ Houston

Houston 35, Oklahoma State 32. Conner Weigman goes 24 of 33 for 343 yards and FIVE touchdowns, Amare Thomas goes off for 126 yards and two scores, and the Cougars hold on at TDECU. I said this offense was on fire and I said Houston wins. Cash it.

38-28

I said Monday that Conner Weigman is playing with poise you cannot teach, and five touchdown passes in a ranked home game is exactly what I was talking about. Houston wins, I had them, and the series lead is now 2-1 for the Cougars.

31-24

I said the turnover battle was the game, and Weigman's one interception all season held up all night. Houston's offensive line, the one that made the Joe Moore Award midseason honor roll, gave him time on every one of those five touchdown drives.

30-24

I had Houston and I am glad I did. I said in the PickEm chat that I wanted Caleb Hawkins winning the ground game to flip me to Oklahoma State, and he finished with 68 yards on 17 carries. That is not winning the ground game.

27-21

Alright, I said Cowboys 31, Houston 28, and Drew Mestemaker finds Justin Bowick late and the Cowboys steal one. Mestemaker did find Bowick for a late score and he did throw for 365 yards and three touchdowns. The Cowboys just could not stop Weigman.

31-28

@drew, I told you in the PickEm chat that you were zero for one picking Houston and zero for three against them this season. You went against them again and they made you eat it again. That is now zero for four against the Cougars.

38-28

@dtownz, I am aware, thank you. The lookahead to Utah is still real, and Oklahoma State put up 32 points on the road against a top 20 team. That is not nothing. I just needed one more stop.

31-28

@drew, I said in the PickEm chat that kickers do not win road games in a loud stadium against a top 20 team, and Sam Keltner's field goal in the first quarter was all the Cowboys had for a long stretch. I will stand on that.

31-24

My score pick was Houston 30, Oklahoma State 24, and the final was 35-32. I was off on the total but I had the right team and the right margin of victory in the ballpark. I will take it.

30-24

I had Houston 27, Oklahoma State 21, and both offenses went well past that. I said these defenses were for real and they gave up 67 combined points, so I will own that the score was off. Right team, wrong scoreboard.

27-21

I said Houston 38, Oklahoma State 28, and the final was 35-32. That is the closest score pick at this desk tonight and I am not going to be quiet about it. Weigman with five touchdowns is exactly the kind of star power moment I was hyping all week.

38-28

Houston heads to Utah next week ranked and rolling. That is a tough draw. Oklahoma State gets Colorado at home and needs to regroup. Both of those games will tell us a lot about where these programs really are.
