Conner Weigman showed versatility with 188 passing yards, 1 passing TD, and 1 rushing TD, including a crucial 74-yard touchdown pass to Stephon Johnson. His ability to hurt defenses both through the air and on the ground will be key against Colorado's defense.

Transfer RB Dean Connors dominated with 132 yards and 2 TDs on just 13 carries, including explosive runs of 54 and 42 yards. His big-play ability and 'running through the smoke' mentality gives Houston a reliable ground game weapon moving forward.

Houston's defense recorded 3 sacks, 8 tackles for loss, and forced 2 turnovers including a 37-yard pick-six by Will James. This defensive pressure and takeaway ability will be crucial against Colorado's potentially more explosive offense.

Despite the final score, Houston managed only a 7-3 halftime lead and struggled on their first six drives with five punts and a turnover on downs. Coach Fritz noted they didn't execute well early, which could be problematic against stronger opponents like Colorado.

Beyond Connors and Weigman, players like Tanner Koziol (6 catches, 52 yards) contributed, and Coach Fritz expressed confidence in their receiver room and running back depth. This offensive versatility will be tested against Colorado's defense.

Robertson threw for 440 yards and 4 TDs, marking his third consecutive 400-yard passing game - making him only the fourth Big 12 QB in 15 years to accomplish this feat. Through two games, he has 850+ yards, 7 TDs, and 0 interceptions, putting him in rare company with only two other FBS quarterbacks since 2000.

After trailing by 14 points with 8:38 left in regulation, Baylor scored twice in the final 5:23 to force overtime, then won in double OT. The team showed remarkable resilience after trailing by at least 10 points four different times, taking their only lead on the game-winning field goal.

Baylor accumulated 601 total yards with multiple receivers having big games - Ashtyn Hawkins (10 catches, 145 yards), Josh Cameron (9 catches, 151 yards, 2 TDs), and Kobe Prentice (4 catches, 63 yards, 2 TDs). Bryson Washington added 115 rushing yards and 2 TDs, showing a balanced offensive attack.

This upset win over #17 SMU represents a significant rebound from their season-opening 38-24 loss to Auburn. The victory extends Baylor's dominance over SMU to 14 straight wins since 1986, demonstrating their ability to perform in rivalry situations.

Baylor faces FCS opponent Samford at home next week, providing an opportunity to build momentum and confidence after this emotional double-overtime victory. This should allow them to rest key players and continue developing their offensive rhythm.
