Freshman running back Alton McCaskill found himself all alone down the left sideline, securing the easiest catch of his young career and strolled 35 yards into the end zone on the Cougars’ first drive. McCaskill’s touchdown perfectly encapsulated UH’s 44-7 clobbering of in-town rival Rice on Saturday night at Rice Stadium to keep the Bayou Bucket in its display case on Cullen Boulevard.
Apart from a second quarter in which the Cougars only managed to pick up three total yards, the UH offense marched up and down the field at will.
In just his second collegiate game, McCaskill established his presence in both the UH pass and run game.
