PROVO, Utah – As they’ve done all season, the BYU two-minute offense picked up chunk yardage and found the end zone to end the first half against Houston. The No. 19 Cougars needed 50 seconds to march 80 yards into the end zone.
No. 19 BYU is hosting the Houston Cougars at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday, November 30.

A 52-yard connection between Chase Roberts and Jake Retzlaff moved BYU into scoring position. With 30 seconds on the clock and two timeouts, BYU wasn’t in any hurry. Retzlaff pinballed off Houston defenders two plays later on his way to a 13-yard rushing score. The extra point gave BYU a 21-10 halftime lead.
Retzlass closes the half 6-of-12 for 110 yards. He added 40 yards and a TD on the ground. LJ Martin leads BYU running backs with 43 yards on ten carries. Roberts has three catches for 76 yards.
