Houston Upsets No. 24 Arizona State to Remain Undefeated on Road

Houston football upset No. 24 Arizona State in Tempe with a 24-16 victory, marking Houston's best start since 2015 and maintaining their undefeated road record this season. Houston's junior quarterback Conner Weigman was a standout, passing for 201 yards and rushing for 111 yards with two touchdowns, while senior tight end Tanner Koziol contributed seven catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. Arizona State entered the game dealing with key injuries, including their star wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, which impacted their offensive production. Despite a strong defensive effort that shut out Arizona State through the first three quarters, Houston overcame a late fourth-quarter rally by the Sun Devils. Arizona State's coach Kenny Dillingham emphasized maintaining intense practices despite the injuries to prevent a letdown following a recent big win, highlighting the team's resilience and depth, particularly with contributions from Alabama transfer Jaren Hamilton. The game had high stakes in the Big 12 race, with Houston aiming to solidify their place among the conference's upper echelon and Arizona State looking to control their destiny in the season.
