Ward lifts Cougars past Florida State in Peach Bowl
Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr ran for two touchdowns and threw for another as the No. 14 Cougars defeated No. 9 Florida State 38-24 in Atlanta. Ward's 238 passing yards and 67 rushing yards fueled a strong first-half surge, while Trevon Stewart and William Jackson III each had two interceptions for Houston. Florida State, hampered by five turnovers and a sprained ankle for Sean Maguire, rallied briefly in the fourth but could not overcome the deficit.
