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.

DT, you're quickly approaching BealBear levels. I like you, you provide a lot of insight, but Good God, man....is this really helping?
I have been realistic about this for a long time.


Realistic ***** Go cheer for Bama, hell of a lot easier.

Why in the world are we throwing that pass with 50 seconds before the half?

Chris Platt and Blake Lynch should be benched at least temporarily to send them a message. Even high school coaches will bench players that are screwing up too much

Should have just let this run out. We are all kinds of disjointed right now.

Everything from Seth is low right now. He can't even throw a tight spiral on a basic lateral throw.

You cannot give up two recruiting classes while you are short in numbers and weak on both OL and DL without numbers at those positions. We have one QB this spring. OL and DL take a good two years to be able to play. Add to that the state is weak on OL and DL for the second year in a row. This thing goes down from here before it starts to go up regardless of who we hire.

Well so what? We can't change where we graduated from. We're gonna win.

I might have come closer to that fg. Poor announcer. That thing missed wide right by like 15 yards

Chris Platt. Get off the field. Damn.

A kicker who can't kick. What a pathetic half.

Grobe just showed more emotion by patting the refs back side than he's shown all season

Great hustle by our guys in not giving up on their long run. Could easily be a 14pt swing.

That was a really nice straight kick. Unfortunately we were on the right hash.

Is this halftime dork serious? This has nothing to do with cupcakes. It has everything to do with the fact that our name only gets brought up in the news for some sort of misconduct and the head coach who led us to 2 Big 12 Championships in 3 years just got canned.

I think that's the only time they showed him the entire game. I really don't think he brings anything at all when game time comes around.

Big 12 teams will bracket Cannon and bring crazy pressure. I'm sure they are thinking that Seth can't beat them with his arm.
