Kazemi, Rice hammer Louisiana College
The score could have been named at any point during the evening thus the final tally was largely irrelevant. Coming out of a 10-day break for final exams, what was of critical significance was how Rice performed.

Rice University Brings In Basically the Smallest Running Back Ever
Jayson Carter was recently brought on to Rice University as a walk-on, and he's walking into the campus as a popular figure now. Now we've seen Darren Sproles and how short he is, at 5'6", but Carter excelled that range, as he is 4'9" and 130 pounds, playing running back for the Owls. He was recently named a legalized midget and qualified for dwarfism. But that doesn't stop Carter...
