Houston Cougars Rise After Big Win | Oregon State Beavers Football News

Houston Cougars roar to a 33-20 win over Oregon State, climbing to No. 22 in the AP poll as their offense explodes with Conner Weigman throwing for 300+ yards and Makhi Hughes and ReShaun Sanford II combining for 170+ rushing yards and TDs. But defensive woes surface—secondary struggles allowed 390+ passing yards and left receivers wide open, with coach Willie Fritz admitting tackling lapses. With big games against BYU and Texas Tech looming, fixing that leaky defense is critical if Houston wants to stay in the top 25. Currently ranked fourth in the Big 12, a strong showing against Southern next week could push them even higher. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
