Oklahoma State football defense falters vs Conner Weigman, Houston | 5 takeaways

Oklahoma State’s defense, which had been a bright spot in recent weeks, crumbled under pressure in a 35-32 loss to Houston, ending a four-game winning streak. The Cowboys failed to secure a single stop in the final 4:54 of the game, allowing Houston to take control of the clock and seal the victory.

Over the past three contests, opponents had consistently outgained OSU in both time of possession and total plays, and Saturday’s game was no exception—Houston dominated early with a 30:18 to 24:38 edge in possession, running 73 plays to OSU’s 59. The Cowboys’ offensive struggles in the first half, where they managed just three points and eight rushing attempts for 14 yards, highlighted their inability to sustain momentum against Houston’s stifling defense, ranked 14th nationally in rushing yards allowed (74 per game).
