Houston was 27 of 33 for 232 yards, leading Wisconsin (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) to a 24-13 victory at Illinois Saturday.
The junior threw for two touchdowns and had two interceptions. Before Saturday, Houston was 5-of-9 passing in three brief appearances this season and had thrown just four passes in his first two years at Wisconsin.
The loss was the second in a row for Illinois (4-3, 1-2), a team struggling with injuries and facing four of its last five games on the road including next Saturday at Penn State with an 11 a.m. kickoff.
