The Houston Cougars secured a dramatic 17-14 victory over the Utah Utes with a walk-off 42-yard field goal by Jack Martin. The game was marked by a late interception by A.J. Haulcy, his fourth of the season, which set up the winning field goal with 1:55 remaining. Brandon Rose's interception for Utah was a crucial turnover. Houston scored 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to clinch the win. This loss drops Utah to a 4-4 overall record and 1-4 in Big 12 play, continuing a disappointing season for the Utes. Houston's win is their second Big 12 victory this year and adds to their notable triumphs, including a win over TCU.
