Carrier CAREER STARTS LIST caught for over 1,000 yards, marking only the second time in NCAA history. PLAYER 2011 Total Consec. UH became the fourth team in NCAA history to have three 1,000-yard receivers when Tyron Carrier, James Cleveland and Marcus McGraw, LB 2 41 41 Patrick Edwards each eclipsed the mark —the other teams were Texas Tech 2002, Hawaii in 2007 and Tulsa in 2007. Case Keenum, QB 2 39 2 Chris Thompson, OL 2 39 32 GOIN’ STREAKING Patrick Edwards, WR 2 34 20 Senior receivers Tyron Carrier and Patrick Edwards have caught a pass in every game of their college careers. Carrier is on a Tyron Carrier, WR 2 31 4 streak of 41 consecutive games with a catch, which is tied for most in the country. Edwards ranks fifth nationally with 35 straight games played with a reception.

He came to UH as a walk-on and earned a scholarship from head Tyrone Campbell, DL -- 8 0 coach Kevin Sumlin in 2008. That same year, he suffered a devastating broken leg in a game against Marshall. However in 2010, David Piland, QB -- 8 0 Edwards led the team with 70 receptions for 1,100 yards. Edwards topped the 2,000-career receiving yard mark, becoming one of only nine Cougar receivers to hit that milestone.
