The Baylor Bears travel to Houston to take on the Rice Owls in their final non-conference matchup of the 2016 season. The game between the two teams will be aired live nationally on ESPN at 7 p.m. CT.

RICE SERIES HISTORY

  • Baylor and Rice will meet for the 81st time Friday. Winners of seven straight against Rice, Baylor leads the series 48-30-2. Rice is the second former Southwest Conference rival on Baylor’s 2016 schedule (Baylor defeated SMU, 40-13, on Sept. 10). Prior to Baylor and Rice leaving the Southwest Conference in 1996, the series with the Owls had been played continuously for 71 years (with the exception of World War II) as conference rivals.
  • Since moving into the Big 12 Conference in 1996, Baylor is 10-0 in non-conference games against former Southwest Conference (non-Big 12) rivals -- 6-0 vs. SMU and 4-0 vs. Rice.
  • Friday will be just the fifth series meeting since the Southwest Conference disbanded.
  • In 2010’s last series meeting in Houston, Robert Griffin III passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns to lead Baylor to a 30-13 win over Rice on a rain-soaked Saturday night that included a weather delay of about an hour. The Bears outgained Rice 456 to 296.
  • Baylor’s coaching connections with Rice also run deep as former defensive coach Larry Hoeffer (2003-10) is the Rice safeties coach and former director of operations Jerry Pickle (1986-2007) is on the Owls’ operations staff.

Stidham would have been the starter at this rate.

That was an embarrassingly bad throw. Late, telegraphed, low velocity, and poorly placed. Good grief.

It was fun when we'd put up 28 points in a quarter.

Hate to sound like broken record but this is why you hire Chad Morris and not Jim Grobeand existing staff.

This offense won't work if the qb can't hit wide open receivers

Jim Grobe is an absolute buzz kill on the sidelines. He's like the boring old substitute teacher.

Look here. Rice is not going to put up big offensive numbers. No reason to punt in this game. Ever.

It was pretty evident in the first half of the first game. It's a really tough call to make but it's pretty obvious.

It seems like the defense can read our OL for two games in a row.
