November 6, 2024 Joe Mathieu Comments 0 Comment

The Houston Cougars held K-State to 89 yards rushing and intercepted K-State quarterback Avery Johnson twice to earn a 24-19 victory over the Wildcats on a rainy Saturday night in Houston, Texas last weekend. K-State head coach Chris Klieman mentioned that a lack of fundamentals and techniques contributed to the loss, but I think a lot more needs to be unpacked to figure out what exactly went wrong.
