FINAL: Houston Cougars 35, Kansas State Wildcats 16

The Houston Cougars dominated the Kansas State Wildcats 35–16 in a lopsided Big 12 showdown at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, where Houston’s offensive efficiency and defensive penalties combined to stifle K-State’s struggling attack. The Cougars struck early with a touchdown on the opening drive, capitalizing on a fourth-down conversion and a pass interference call that set up a one-yard scoring play.

Kansas State’s lone bright spot came from quarterback Avery Johnson, who finally connected for a touchdown in the third quarter after a long kickoff return set up field position, but the Wildcats’ offense sputtered otherwise, managing just 182 passing yards on 16 completions. Houston’s ground game, led by a 13-yard touchdown run, controlled the clock while K-State’s defense was repeatedly undone by penalties and turnovers, including a costly interception that sealed the game’s outcome with under four minutes left.
