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.

May want to realize that the Rice defender ripped his helmet off.


When do people start abusing the rule and rip their opponents helmet off so their opponent can't do anything?

Kendall Briles needs to be a leader and put some fire into this team. Your dad might have been wronged. But be there for these kids.

Sports Journalists must be the most ignorant, least intellectually curious and lacking academic talent of college degrees.

You can probably forget beating Texas, okie or TCU.

Maybe ISU, KSU or OSU.

Almost certainly Kansas.


It's a long season. We will improve and be just fine.
So will our level of competition.

I'm not saying he's sharp but I think Seth's issue has much to do with receivers. He and KD have it going on.


Neither the receivers nor the QB are helping each other out, sans Cannon.

Impressed that Mack Brown hasn't chimed in about the scandal.

Mack is not a bad guy. He also recruited a lot of questionable characters to his teams

And there it is. ESPN was waiting for us to go up big before starting the Briles talk.
Better they wait until late in the game instead of it be all the talk at the beginning.

Interesting that Mack didn't pile on at all. Looking for a job?

That sideline interference penalty reminded me of the time when Texas got a penalty for Mac's stepson's interference on the sideline of a UT game. Small wonder Mac doesn't like that penalty.

Did Stewart come back in or are they holding him out the rest of the game? Thankfully Fuller came back.

We've got over 500 yards in this game. Feels like 150.
