Houston Wins Bayou Bucket In Record-Setting Fashion

Houston whipped Rice, 73-34, as Houston QB Case Keenum set the NCAA career touchdown pass record, one of 9 TD passes he threw in the game:

Keenum then threw three touchdown passes in a six minute span at the end of the first half to put Houston on top 38-20 and tie the touchdown passes record.
He set the record on a 41-yard pass to Charles Sims early in the third quarter to push the lead to 45-20. Keenum smiled and flashed the Cougar hand signal when he appeared on the jumbotron on the sidelines after setting the record. His teammates clapped and cheered while fans gave him a standing ovation.
He was 24 of 37 for 534 yards before he was replaced by backup Cotton Turner with eight minutes remaining.

That allowed Houston to take back the Bayou Bucket:
