Zeon Chriss scored a 41-yard touchdown run with 2:31 left to lift Houston to a 24-19 upset of No. 17 Kansas State Saturday afternoon in a driving rainstorm in Houston. Kansas State's Hail Mary on the final play was incomplete. Avery Johnson finished 23-of-39 for 219 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions for the Wildcats (7-2, 4-2 Big 12). Chriss was a perfect 11-of-11 for the Cougars (4-5, 3-3 Big 12) while also running for 75 yards and the winning score. Late in the third quarter, Johnson hit Jayce Brown for a 61-yard pass, setting up a 47-yard Chris Tennant field goal to make it a 19-10 game.
