With Saturday's game under control, Rice gave the smallest player in the Football Bowl Subdivision a moment in the spotlight.

Rice handed the ball to Jayson Carter, a 4-foot-9, 135-pound walk-on running back, late in the fourth quarter of the Owls' 45-7 win over UTEP.

Carter, who has a genetic disorder that hinders his growth, took the handoff from the left of the quarterback, carried it to the right tackle and was brought down for a 1-yard gain.

"I did what I was supposed to … I didn't get negative yards," Carter said, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Carter has worked with the scout team for three years but made his college debut against UTEP.

Our local high school coach here in Euless, Steve Lineweaver, knows how to get production out of a small back like this; near the goal line,just have your (large, here in Euless) offensive line open a small hole, and have the small back (hard to see behind the big OL guys) extend the ball through that small opening in the line enough to break the plane of the goal line. There's some advantage in being hard to see.

      Floyd looked steadier on the ball than anyone we’ve had in years. 5/2 assist/turnover tonight…2/1 for his career. I think the 1 is in good hands

      I liked that we have more than one guy willing and able to drive, score and draw fouls. That bodes well for the future on nights when the threes aren’t falling. When Evansville tried to get back in the game we drove and got to the line. Lots of experienced guys on this team. I didn’t know what to expect with so much turnover, but that looked like a recent North Texas team to me. Awesome to see that our style of play and tenacity carried over to this new bunch.

      The thing that stood out to me is the lack of a good point guard. When pressured, all these guys were shaky. Where was the freshman center Baron Smith?

      there's a collection of asshats who will downvote anytime I make a post. they think I care, I guess? to the bold statement...I do. to the rest...whatever. he's a 4 year scholarship player who has a less than 2ppg average for his career. it's not really his fault...he should be at ACU or some D2 program. everyone on the team "hustles" I'll say again, if Mason and/or Cotton don't have Stone's 10ish minutes by conference play, then I have real questions about our recruitment.

      things I liked: 1. Wright and Floyd. this is gonna develop into one hell of a dynamic backcourt 2, Jossell and Massie off the bench. Massie is tough...has some TBell to him...Jossell's shooting was off tonight, but I think he's gonna have some 20+ nights throughout the year. 3. increased pace...this team wants to run more, but we still have a lot of defensive minded dudes out there things I didn't like: 1. Lorient as a straight swap for Sissoko. Sissoko played 25min, Lorient 15...all as the 5. I don't think Lorient brings enough size (nor do I think Sissoko brings enough offense) for that to be a straight 40 min rotation 2. no underclassmen playing. Wayland might be a better chance for deeper rotation, but if #1 above is our best bet at the 5 and if those 12 minutes of Stone is more than what Mason/Cotton have, I'm worried about our depth 3. increased pace...we did this last season to...tried to play early with more tempo...I'm not convinced
