HOUSTON, Texas- It was another disappointing night for the Utah Utes as they came up short for the fourth week in a row, losing to the Houston Cougars in heartbreaking fashion thanks to a last-second, game-winning field goal from Jack Martin.

It was an offensive struggle for both teams all night. Houston was unable to convert from inside the 1-yard line twice and Utah made a switch at quarterback in the second half from Isaac Wilson to Brandon Rose.

Fittingly, it was an interception for both teams that set up crucial scores. Utah took a 14-7 lead thanks to a Johnathan Hill pick that set the Utes up inside the 25-yard line, opening the door for a Micah Bernard touchdown run. Houston’s defense sealed the game when an A.J. Haulcy gave the Cougars possession on the Utah 46-yard line with 2:00 remaining in the game. Later on the drive, Houston would win the game on a field goal.
