HOUSTON (AP) -
Chase Clement
threw for 315 yards and four touchdowns, becoming Conference USA's all-time leader in total touchdowns and touchdown passes,
in the Rice Owls' 35-10 win over the Marshall Thundering Heard on Saturday afternoon.
Clement, who also ran for a touchdown Saturday, surpassed former Tulsa player
Paul Smith
and now has 114 total touchdowns and 89 passing touchdowns.
The Owls (8-3, 6-1 in C-USA), who only scored seven points in the first half, improved to 5-0 at home and have won five straight
games after losing three of four from Sept. 13 to Oct. 4.
Jarrett Dillard caught six passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
Corbin Smiter
and
Toren Dixon
also caught touchdown passes for Rice, and C.J. Ugokwe ran for 79 yards on 19 carries.
Darius Marshall
led the
Thundering Herd
(4-7, 3-4) with 118 yards on the ground, and tight end
Cody Slate
scored the team's only touchdown in the second quarter. Marshall finished the game with 185 yards rushing, and quarterback
Mark Cann
completed just 13 of his 24 passes for 83 yards.
After Saturday's performance, Marshall now has 1,001 rushing yards this season.
Marshall had more time of possession in the game, but was just seven-for-17 on third down conversions in losing its third
straight game.
