No. 17 Houston beats Southern Miss 50-43

Case Keenum threw for a career-high 559 yards and

No. 15 Houston escaped with a 50-43 win over Southern Mississippi
on Saturday.

Keenum broke the tie with a 46-yard pass to Patrick Edwards. The
Golden Eagles had a chance to tie it after that, but Martevious
Young’s heave from midfield was knocked down in the end zone.
   
Keenum’s other TD passes went for 33, 55, 14 and 17 yards, as
Houston won its fourth straight.
   
Houston (7-1, 3-1 Conference USA) led by seven and was driving
when Korey Williams forced a fumble by Bryce Beall, which Southern
Miss recovered on its own 23. The Golden Eagles (5-4, 3-2) tied it
43-all on a 13-y
