STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) - Case Keenum throw four touchdown
passes, two to James Cleveland and two to Tyron Carrier, as Houston rebounded to beat Mississippi State 31-24 on Saturday.

Houston (4-1), coming off a loss to Texas-El Paso that knocked
the Cougars from their first Top 25 ranking in 18 years, got off to
a slow start.

The Bulldogs (2-4) intercepted Keenum twice - one that Charles
Mitchell returned 71 yards for a touchdown - and sacked him once.
He was 39 of 52 for 434 yards.

Anthony Dixon rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns for
Mississippi State.
