Weigman throws 4 touchdown passes as Houston beats LSU 38-35 in Texas Bowl
December 28, 2025
Conner Weigman threw for 236 yards and four touchdowns as Houston rallied from an early 14-point deficit for a 38-35 victory over LSU in the Texas Bowl. It was the final game for LSU before new coach Lane Kiffin takes over on the sideline next year. Kiffin was hired Nov. 30, leaving a playoff-bound Ole Miss team, but interim coach Frank Wilson III remained in charge on the field for the Tigers’ bowl game. LSU finished 2-3 under Wilson after Brian Kelly was fired during the season. Weigman completed 27 of 36 passes and rushed for 56 yards. Ethan Sanchez made a 25-yard field goal to give the Cougars a 31-28 lead with 7:42 remaining.
