TEXAS BOWL
In Houston, Rice University took out more than 50 years of postseason frustration on Western Michigan to earn a 38-14 win.
Chase Clement threw three touchdown passes, ran for a score and caught a touchdown pass from Jarett Dillard to lead the Owls over the Broncos.
Dillard also caught his national-best 20th touchdown pass of the season as the Owls won a bowl game for the first time since the 1954 Cotton Bowl and reached 10 victories in a season for the first time since 1949.
HUMANITARIAN BOWL
In Boise, Idaho, Da’Rel Scott — benched for two and a half quarters after breaking curfew — ran for 179 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns as Maryland downed Nevada 42, 35.
Scott’s 49-yard touchdown sprint early in the fourth quarter broke a 28-28 tie and his close-range TD rush put Maryland up by 14 points.
Scott was one of seven Terrapins benched for curfew violations, and became the seventh running back in Maryland history to top 1,000 yards for the season.
