The Cougars looked set to march right down the field and score on their first drive. Then the Cowboys defense bowed up. It started when Ehtan Wesloski sacked Houston QB Conner Weigman for a loss of six.

After he found himself at third-and-13, Weigman’s next pass was tipped, then picked off by OSU cornerback LaDainian Fields who returned it for 20 yards.

It was Weigman’s second pick all season.

Houston, we have a pick
