The Houston Cougars lead the Arizona State Sun Devils at halftime by 10-0 in the middle of the field at Mountain America Stadium, which has obviously brought significant frustration in ASU
Houston opened the game assertively, moving the ball with poise and confidence. Quarterback Conner Weigman led a steady first-quarter drive that ended in a 26-yard field goal from kicker Ethan Sanchez, putting the Cougars ahead 3-0 early on.
Houston added to their lead again in a few seconds with a short-yardage TD one-yard QB sneak by Weigman that put them up to 10-0. Their offensive line stood resolute, with the front of the ASU defense of the Cougars restricting the run game of Arizona State to small proportions.
