By Canadian Press on October 11, 2025.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Conner Weigman passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, and Houston overcame an early trick play to defeat Oklahoma State 39-17 on Saturday.

Weigman completed 21 of 30 passes for 306 yards without an interception. He threw scoring passes on back-to-back drives in the second quarter to help Houston build 24-10 at halftime.

Dean Connors had a rushing and receiving touchdown, and Ethan Sanchez kicked four field goals for Houston (5-1, 2-1 Big 12).

Converted wide receiver Sam Jackson V struggled at quarterback for Oklahoma State (1-5, 0-3), which lost its third straight game under interim coach Doug Meacham. Jackson, starting because of injuries to Zane Flores and Hauss Hejny, completed 7 of 16 passes for 84 yards with an interception.

Noah Walters replaced Jackson with 7:40 left in the game and led a 75-yard scoring drive that ended with Walters finding Gavin Freeman for a 33-yard touchdown.

Oklahoma State scored the game’s first points on a double pass. Jackson threw a lateral to Shamar Rigby and the receiver found running back Rodney Fields alone in the secondary for a 63-yard touchdown reception.

With the score tied 10-all, Houston drove 67 yards in four plays, with Weigman throwing a 6-yard scoring pass to Connors, who reached high to make a one-handed grab in the end zone.

The takeaway

Houston: The Cougars are off to their best six-game start since 2021, when they lost their opener and won 12 straight.

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys have lost 13 of their last 14 and are looking for their first win since Mike Gundy was fired.
