Oklahoma State University fell to Houston at home in Stillwater, just weeks after OSU fired longtime Head Coach Mike Gundy.<\/p>\n
The physical and solid Houston Cougars come away with a 39-17 victory Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium.<\/p>\n
Though Houston led 17-10 with 5.5 minutes to go before halftime, the game really shifted to the Cougars’ favor in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
While OSU’s offense gave up too many big plays, you have to give credit to quarterback Sam Jackson V, who came to OSU as a receiver and had to fill in as QB in this game. Jackson had played the position at California and TCU, but switched to receiver full-time at Auburn.<\/p>\n
OSU’s defense showed promise in some long stretches of the game, but it wasn’t enough. The Cowboys just couldn’t stop Houston QB Connor Weigman, who had a big day with 306 yards passing and a couple of touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Oklahoma State continues to await the return of Hauss Hejny, who suffered a foot injury in OSU’s season opener, but it looks like that wait will continue.<\/p>\n
OSU meets Cincinnati for Homecoming back in Stillwater next week.<\/p>\n
