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.

Much truth here. Lived in Houston many years and know a number of Rice folks quite well.

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.

Same people outraged at BU for what happened are the same ones laughing at the Rice Band. Nothing like mocking rape and it shows how fake most of the outrage was this summer.

A little disappointing; isn't it? It seems like instead of listening to the talking heads on ESPN, Rice kids might actually have some intellectual curiosity into the legislative history of Title IX and the facts around the Baylor case. Either it just wasn't funny or I've lost my sense of humor.

Platt is covering up Tecklenberg but they don't call it.

Platt can't catch with 2 hands so he tries with 1

Watching this game is like watching your dog run into the middle of a busy street, praying he can just make it to the other side.

Chris Platt could eat no fat and Callahan could eat no lean. Together them both, they totally sucked, though some will think this is mean

If you compare this to a year ago it is virtually unwatchable.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Callahan should just give up his scholarship. Waste of money.

Back-to-back missed FGs buy Chris Callahan. Baylor is stuck at 21-10, and giving Rice hope in the 3rd Quarter. I wouldn't led Callahan kick from beyond 40 yards the remainder of the football season.

New rule. No more FGs longer than 20 yards.

I know Callahan beat TCU, but when I think of his total body of work, this is what comes to mind:

Danny Kannel hit it on the head. They know they're going to win. Just going through the motions.

Have y'all ever worked with someone during their last two weeks on the job? That's what this feels like.
