In a resurgent performance, the Houston Cougars snapped an eight-quarter scoring drought with a commanding 30-19 victory over TCU, ending a decades-long losing streak against the Horned Frogs. Zeon Chriss, in his first start, propelled Houston's offense, both through the air and on the ground, finishing with 141 passing yards and 97 rushing yards, including a pivotal 71-yard touchdown run that put Houston ahead 24-6 at halftime. Houston's defense was equally tenacious, capitalizing on TCU's four turnovers, highlighted by A.J. Haulcy's two interceptions.
TCU, despite quarterback Josh Hoover's two touchdown passes, couldn't overcome Houston's stronghold, hampered further by turnovers and penalties.
