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.

We look like a team that rode a bus from Waco to Houston right before the game. I hope we did not do that.

Can't believe Callahan kept trying to push him. This is what I was so worriedabout if the team started playing bad or started losing.
Grobe should send him to the locker room and he is done for the night.

He better worry about when the cameras go off. He might get stomped into a mud puddle in the locker room.

I hope we did. At least that excuse would be better than we're just not all that good.

The Rice QB has a sweet red stache. No wonder they're keeping it close.

The last time I was at Rice Stadium for a Baylor-Rice football game was in 1994 in what would be the 2nd to last year of the SWC. Baylor had to battle, but came away with a tough 19-14 victory.

Last time I was there also. That was fun! My elbow has never been the same since that day. That rice turf is the worst field EVERYBODY. Not even close.
good insight- I remember that game

How does Rice lose Blanchard? No one touched him. Great sack for us.
