Jayson Carter has been a part of the Rice football team since 2011, but as of Wednesday morning, he had touched the ball just once in his college career.
The walk-on running back, who checks in at 4-foot-9, 140 pounds, made his first carry for the Owls last October but didn?t see any game action during the 2014 regular season.
During the fourth quarter of Rice?s 30-6 win over Fresno State in Wednesday?s Hawaii Bowl, however, Owls coach David Bailiff decided to put the ball in Carter?s hands again.

Carter took quite the shot after his 2-yard pickup, but he got up smiling.
Rice now has won two bowl games in the past three seasons after winning just one in the previous 49.
