The Cougars have been playing much better as of late.
They took a little bit of that out on first-year Big 12 member Utah last week, though it took a last-second field goal to pull out the victory. Houston’s offense managed just 291 yards and 16 first downs in the win but pounded out 230 yards via the rush. Zeon Chriss threw for 61 yards, two TDs and an interception in just 13 pass attempts, but also added 45 rushing yards to the effort. The Duel threat QB is starting to find his stride and Houston is playing with revenge from a 41-0 ass whooping they took last year at K State.

Houston looks very good here as a home dog on Saturday afternoon.
