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.

Given the injury and the absence of spring reps, I think Seth needs more time on the field post-injury before he gets to conference play.

You're eyes have been lying to you based on our competition. We're no where close to being where we should be offensively.

I suspect everything Rice students do is satire until it comes time to compare w2s.

The skinny dudes in shorts and SAT scores of the women lead me to believe there's a bit of Tom Follery happening there. Some hullabaloo.

Zach Smith really hands the ball off well. I'm not sure Seth hands it off as well. #QBControversy

Just focusing on the positive. I remember all the *****ing about the D in years past so it is good to see the D finally doing a really good job for the team.

I agree. Defense makes me wonder why we waited so long to go with a 3-4. But really wish we could have a good O and good D at the same time...

I don't think a few of our fans understand how crucial the OL is to our offense and having 4 new starters on the OLine is going to be a challenge all season. Not to mention if our receivers caught the ball tonight we probably have at least 2-3 more TDs.

We've become spoiled and unless we win 80-0 a few will never be happy.

How much of an impact will Zamora make? Not too many targets for Mims.

See, Oklahoma state doesn't have any tape on him. Puts them at a disadvantage.
