11/29/25 - QB Conner Weigman, rJr/2027, Houston, (DS#11 QB)

Dean Connors scored on a 1-yard run with 1:57 left, Conner Weigman accounted for three touchdowns while passing for 201 yards and running for 121, and Houston wrapped its regular season with a 31-24 win at Baylor on Saturday. The bowl-bound Cougars (9-3, 6-3 Big 12) got the game-winning drive after Baylor had erased a 15-point deficit following a scary injury to Bears freshman running back Caden Knighten late in the third quarter. Baylor (5-7, 3-6) had one more chance to tie the game again, but Sawyer Robertson was under heavy pressure on a fourth-down incompletion from the Houston 13 with 43 seconds left. The Bears ended coach Dave Aranda's sixth season with their third loss in a row and fifth in six games.

Weigman had his two rushing TDs after throwing one to Amare Thomas for the fourth game in a row. The quarterback's 1-yard plunge put Houston up 24-9 with 4:58 left in the third quarter. Knighten was injured on the ensuing drive, staying facedown on the field after taking a direct hit to the back while being tackled for no gain at the Houston 12. He was taken off the field on a stretcher and Baylor gave the ball up on downs on the next play before the Cougars went 3-and-out. Baylor then got a 1-yard TD run from Joseph Dodds, and Robertson ran for the 2-point conversion. Weigman's incompletion on fourth-and-2 from the Houston 44 set up the Bears, who got the tying score when Robertson threw a 31-yard TD to Josh Cameron on fourth-and-9 with 8:53 left. Weigman was 21-of-31 passing with an interception, and ran 22 times. Thomas had a 25-yard TD to cap Houston's first drive, his 10th of the season, and sixth in the four-game run. Robertson finished 23-of-46 for 309 yards with an interception, on a tipped ball in the end zone, and a fumble while being sacked. Both turnovers were in the first quarter. - Houston/AP College Football
