Weigman shines with career highs as Houston defeats Colorado 36-20

HOUSTON -- , Conner Weigman threw for 222 yards and ran for 83 yards and two touchdowns , both career highs , to lead Houston over Colorado 36-20 on Friday night. "We didn’t play great and there’s things we can really improve on," head coach Willie Fritz said. “But for our Big 12 opener, playing a good squad like Colorado, we’re very happy with the outcome.” The Cougars (3-0, 1-0 Big 12) were up by five late in the third quarter when Dean Connors ran 18 yards to get them to the 1-yard line. Weigman scored on the next play to make it 26-14. “I love to come here and come to work every day and put it all on the line for my brothers,” Weigman said.
