Houston became the first Jaguar other than Brandon Ross to gain 100 yards rushing after carrying 12 times for a team-best 116 yards and two touchdowns in the program's 39-21 win over Nicholls State on Saturday.  His 24-yard gain early in the second quarter set up Santuan McGee’s eight-yard score on the next snap that gave USA the lead for good, while he reached the end zone for the first time with just over seven minutes to go before the intermission with a five-yard carry.  And, it was Houston who put the game out of reach with a 20-yard touchdown run on the first play of the final quarter.
