GAME LOG

Committing to Tulane Chriss has committed to play for Tulane for the 2026 season, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.
Impact Chriss will join the Green Wave following two seasons with Houston. The 6-foot-3 quarterback appeared in six games for the Cougars in 2025, throwing for 108 yards and one touchdown with one interception to go along with 79 scoreless rushing yards as well. The former Louisiana transfer will retain a single year of eligibility at his next destination.
JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Going portaling Chriss plans to enter the transfer portal, On3 Sports reports.
Impact Chriss enters the portal after a pair of seasons at Houston, where he compiled 932 passing yards, 467 rushing yards, nine total touchdowns and nine interceptions. With Houston's starting QB Conner Weigman having another year of eligibility remaining, Chriss may be looking for a starting role elsewhere.
DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Shows promise in relief Chriss was 5-for-13 passing for 93 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 35-11 loss versus Texas Tech. He also had seven rushes for 59 yards.
Impact Starting quarterback Conner Weigman left Saturday's game in the second quarter with a concussion, so Chriss came in and led the offense for the rest of the game. On just his second play after entering the game he found Amare Thomas for a 64-yard touchdown, then converted the two-point conversion to cut the deficit to 14 heading into halftime. He only completed five of his 13 pass attempts and threw an interception, but he added 59 yards on the ground versus a very strong Red Raider defense. With Weigman in concussion protocol it is likely that Chriss will start Saturday at Oklahoma State, a very favorable matchup for him and the Cougars' offense.
OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Back at practice Chriss (shoulder) was back at practice Monday, per Jackson Dipasquale of 247Sports.com.
Impact Chriss returned to practice looking healthy and sharp during drills. The junior quarterback will continue to compete for Houston's starting job throughout fall camp.
AUGUST 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Nearing 100 percent Chriss (shoulder) is expected to be close to full go by the start of spring practice, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Chriss dealt with a myriad of injuries as the season wore on, from a knee to a hamstring to a shoulder. He underwent an undisclosed surgery in December, but appears to be rehabbing well, as he reportedly should be just about ready to roll by the time Houston's spring practice period kicks off. Chriss figures to compete with Texas A&M transfer Conner Weigman for the starting quarterback gig at Houston.
FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Mediocre resut in finale Chriss was 16-for-24 passing for 156 yards and one interception during Saturday's 30-18 loss against Brigham Young. He also had 15 rushes for 12 yards with two touchdowns.
Impact Although Chriss scored twice with his feet, he was unable to do enough o defeat BYU. Houston looked slightly better as the season continued, and at certain points, it looked like Chriss gave the Cougars a better chance to win, but his passing ability remained a major question mark. It would surprising if Houston didn't make a concerted effort to find a quarterback in the transfer portal, which already has viable candidates like USC's Miller Moss opting in.
DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Poor showing in loss Chriss completed 13 of 24 passes for 126 yards and three interceptions during Saturday's 20-10 loss against Baylor. He also had 10 rushes for 27 yards.
Impact While Houston's defense is strong, the offense has been horrendous. Donovan Smith's poor play to begin the season put them into a hole they couldn't dig out of, and while Zeon Chriss was a modest improvement, he also had his share of subpar performances. Houston will probably scour the transfer portal to find other options in the offseason, and its a scenario where a sophomore like Chriss might try to find another program.
NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Mediocre outing in loss Chriss completed 16 of 27 passes for 191 yards and one interception during Friday's 27-3 loss versus Arizona. He also had 18 rushes for 55 yards.
Impact Although Chriss has improved the Cougars' offense, his contribution wasn't enough to make a dent in the final score. Houston's defense is usually the team's saving race, but they barely showed up in the blowout loss. Chriss will probably hold on to the job due to his dual-threat skills, but it's a tenuous hold at best.
NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Connects on every pass in victory Chriss was 11-for-11 passing for 103 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-19 victory against Kansas State. He also had 22 rushes for 75 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Although Chriss only threw 11 passes, he didn't throw a single incomplete pass and padded his line with a good dual-threat effort on the ground. Winning two straight games seemed like a tall order before Chriss took over for Donovan Smith, but the team has found a way to win despite the obvious limitations of the offense. The Cougars will regroup on the bye week as they face tough stretch of games coming up. There's a sliver of hope for bowl contention if they can go 3-0 to end the season, but wins over Baylor and BYU are unlikely.

Pulls out surprise win Chriss was 6-for-13 passing for 61 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 17-14 victory over Utah. He also had 17 rushes for 45 yards.
Impact Houston can thank their defense for keeping Utah in check, as their offense didn't do much to help their cause. Even though the team has moved on from Donovan Smith, Chriss is not getting the job done through the air either. He was able to toss two short passes for touchdowns, but generated only 106 yards of total offense in the narrow win.
OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Will start vs. Utah Chriss (hamstring) will start Saturday's game against Utah, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Having Chriss back under center is a massive boost for Houston, as he left the Week 8 contest against Kansas after attempting just four passes and playing 18 snaps. This means Donovan Smith will continue to operate as a backup. Chriss has played five times for Houston this season, completing 67.7 percent of his passes for 187 yards and a 1:2 TD:INT.
OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Should be available Saturday Chriss (hamstring) is expected to play Saturday against Utah, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Chriss was banged up against Kansas, as he only attempted four passes, one of which was picked off. He was announced as the starter moving forward prior to Week 8, so unless he's medically unable to go, Chriss should remain Houston's starting signal caller.
OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Officially announced as starter Chriss will be Houston's starter moving forward, GoCougs.com reports.
Impact Chriss replaced the struggling Donovan Smith for Houston in Week 6, and led the Cougars to an upset win over TCU. Now, he'll be the starter moving forward. He's tossed for 161 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 66.7 percent completion this season.
OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Assumes starting role in win Chriss was 15-for-18 passing for 141 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 30-19 win against TCU. He also had 11 rushes for 97 yards with one touchdown.
Impact After a horrific first month under center, Donovan Smith was benched in favor of Chriss, who gave the offense a much-needed shot in the arm. Although his dual-threat capability was no secret, he surprised with a very accurate night through the air. The defense was also able to contain a prolific TCU offense, but Chriss' contribution will likely result in a permanent change at quarterback.
OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Replaced QB in blowout loss Chriss completed 1 of 4 passes for one yard and one interception during Saturday's 20-0 loss versus Iowa State. He also had seven rushes for 29 yards.
Impact The loss could be the final straw for Donovan Smith, who has played poorly through five games. It appears tnat Chriss is the next man up, but he has limitations as a signal caller. He's not yet an adept passer and is more of a wildcat option for the team, but thereis another passer waiting in the wings. We could see a combo of Chriss and UI Ale if the Cougars end up benching Smith next week against TCU.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Steps in after QB struggles Chriss was 2-for-5 passing for 19 yards during Saturday's 34-0 defeat versus Cincinnati. He also had eight rushes for 27 yards.
Impact Chriss is a much better rusher then Donovan Smith, but the Cougars won't get much help in the passing game if they decide to opt for the sophomore moving forward. Ui Ale is a more conventional signal-caller, and the cap on Chriss' dual-threat ability is evident.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Active in Week 3 Chriss (shoulder) appeared unhindered as he warmed up ahead of Saturday's 33-7 win over Rice, Chris Baldwin of the PaperCity Magazine reports.
Impact Chriss, who was unavailable during last week's 16-12 loss against Oklahoma, appears to have recovered from the shoulder injury that held him out against the Sooners. The sophomore transfer from UL-Lafayette should continue to be Donovan Smith's primary backup option.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not available Saturday Chriss (shoulder) will be unavailable for the game versus Oklahoma Saturday, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Chriss was the primary backup QB so now if something were to happen to the starter, Ui Ale would next in line.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Runs wildcat in loss Chriss was 0-for-0 passing for zero yards during Saturday's 27-7 loss versus UNLV.
Impact Although Chriss only showed up for a few snaps, he' sin a unique position after Donovan Smith's abysmal showing against UNLV. Smith will probably get another chance to prove himself, but Chriss could find himself in a starting role if the trend continues.

Louisiana transfer QB Zeon Chriss sets a pair of Power Five visits Louisiana transfer QB Zeon Chriss showed to be one of the top freshman passers in the country this season, and he's drawing robust interest...
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • 247SPORTS.COM
Entering transfer portal Chriss (leg) is entering the transfer portal, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Chriss will consider a transfer now that Louisiana-Lafayette's 2024 team could potentially have multiple proven quarterbacks (others including Chandler Fields and Ben Ben Wooldridge) competing to be a primary option. The redshirt freshman excelled during 2023, a year during which he logged more than 1,500 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns.
DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out vs Southern Miss Head coach Michael Desormeaux indicated Monday that Chriss (leg) will not be active for Thursday's game against Southern Miss, Wil Herren of KADN News15 reports.
Impact Chriss was carted off the field during the game against Arkansas State with a right leg injury. The redshirt freshman will miss this week's game and in his place, Chandler Fields will get the start.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Carted off field Chriss was carted off the field in the third quarter of Saturday's game against Arkansas State, Chris Hudgison of Region 8 News reports.
Impact Chriss hurt himself on a keep during an option play and needed the cart to get off the field and into the locker room. The injury did not look good at first glance, however, more clarity on the situation should be revealed after tests are done. Chriss was having an impactful game, completing 12-of-18 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown while running in a score. Chandler Fields will man the helm under center the rest of the game.
NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient on limited workload Chriss was 13-for-17 passing for 145 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 33-20 win versus South Alabama. He also had 10 rushes for 30 yards.
Impact Though Chriss only attempted 17 passes, he connected on 76.5 percent of his attempts and found the end zone twice. However, Chriss endured his worst rushing output since Week 1 with just 30 yards.
