Driphus Jackson, Rice win Hawaii Bowl; Jayson Carter has special run

HONOLULU -- Two touchdown passes in a span of 19 seconds were all Driphus Jackson needed to give Rice the spark it needed in the Hawaii Bowl. The defense took it from there. Jackson had his best game of the year by passing for 318 yards and three touchdowns, and Rice set a Hawaii Bowl record by holding Fresno State without a touchdown Wednesday night in a 30-6 victory that completed a remarkable turnaround for the Owls. Rice (8-5) started the season at 0-3 and ended it with its second bowl victory in the last three years. "It seemed like every time we needed a big play, Driphus made one," Rice coach David Bailiff said. "It was probably our best defensive effort of the year. I thought our secondary was just outstanding.
