Jack Zergiotis completed 27 of 44 passes for 270 yards and a pair of touchdowns on Saturday against Houston, but those could have easily been much gaudier numbers. A handful of overthrown deep balls to wide-open receivers, combined with uber-conservative playcalling, cut the Huskies’ upset bid short in a 24-17 loss.
“Ultimately, I can’t miss those throws downfield,” Zergiotis said. “I can’t miss them. And I think that made the difference today, it would have been a different game.”
Three receivers — Cam Ross, Ardell Brown and Art Thompkins — had over 50 yards receiving. Kevin Mensah added 119 all-purpose yards from the backfield.
