How it turned
Houston grabbed the lead early when Weigman found Overmyer for a one-yard touchdown at the 9:20 mark of the first quarter. Kansas State answered right before the quarter ended with a 29-yard field goal from L. Rodriguez, and Houston led 7-3 after one.
The second quarter belonged entirely to Houston. Weigman hit Overmyer again, this time from two yards out, and Makhi Hughes added a 13-yard touchdown run. Kansas State was shut out in the period, and Houston took a 21-3 lead into halftime.
Houston kept the foot down in the third quarter. Weigman and Overmyer connected for an eight-yard score, and Kansas State got on the board with Avery Johnson finding Garrett Oakley for a 13-yard touchdown, though the two-point try failed. Weigman and Overmyer teamed up one more time late in the quarter for an eight-yard... two-yard score, pushing Houston's lead to 35-9 heading into the fourth.
Kansas State scored the only points of the fourth quarter when Johnson found J. Tibbs for a six-yard touchdown with 3:39 left, but the deficit was already too big. Houston closed it out 35-16.
