A look at the top performers in No. 22 Houston 's 77-6 victory over Southern on Saturday:

The sophomore kicker made 11 extra points, the third-most in school history.

The fifth-year defensive back recorded his first interception, ending a drought that spanned more than 1,000 career snaps .

Henderson was efficient, leading the Cougars on four touchdown drives on 16 snaps. He threw a pair of touchdowns and scooped up a fumbled snap for a 54-yard touchdown.

Until recently, Hebert didn't own a cellphone. He laughed when he was asked whether his phone would "be blowing up" after his first two-touchdown game. Hebert showed he's a multi-threat with a 7-yard touchdown run and a 20-yard catch for another score. He also delivered a big hit on kickoff coverage.

Young had a couple uncharacteristic drops in the season opener. He was targeted just three times Saturday, but two went for touchdowns, including a 42-yarder from Conner Weigman . Young offers speed and sure hands on the perimeter, giving the Cougars another threat alongside Amare Thomas and Trent Walker .

Smith, known as "Viking" and "Thor" for his long blonde hair, came off the bench for a team-high 10 carries and 69 yards. He had several tough, up-the-middle runs for big gains.
