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.

Next head coach is going to have to OWN JUCO recruiting on the lines.

Just bring back Art Briles already.
Anybody who thinks it's a good idea to come back to the job they just got fired from is probably an idiot.
Briles was officially fired? I never heard more than suspended with intent to fire.

You actually have to block?

better but what is up with Blackmar? I watched him that whole drive and he didn't make a single solid block that I saw. Need better from him.

We are lining up with 2 WRs, TE, Hback and a RB. We are not getting called for it but we are in an illegal formation when we line up this way. Platt, Cannon, and Teckleburg are all on the line of scrimmage.

Our oline play for the last 5-7 years has been really good. It is not this year. That's talent more than coaching.


Which is a head scratcher since this offensive line was more highly recruited than some previous ones

Maybe I'm being too nit-picky, but Seth didn't look too fired up after hasty scored. gave like 2 claps and walked off nonchalantly.

Something's not right with Seth.

Line can't block Rice.

Receivers are terribly inconsistent.

Team appears to lack intensity.

Lucky to be up.

Did I miss anything?

Will not happen: calendar, juco requirements, extra scrutiny on transfers, and every school is looking for jucos. Maybe in 2018 but not in 2017 and next season is going to be ugly.

Happy for TD but that was very underthrown by Seth. I tell ya, he doesn't seem right.

Mack gushes about Art and his offense all the time so my question is why in the hell didn't he ever hire him?

Yeah. I expected a pretty big drop off. My biggest complaint wasn't that we fired art but that we waited way too long to do it. If there was a hint it needed to happen then we needed to do it way earlier in the year. We essentially have ourselves a 1-2 year death penalty

After losing to bama with a backup qb he decided he needed to be more smash mouth. It was a terrible miscalculation that cost him his job.

It would be one thing of we were getting beat by a better team, but it just looks off. Whatever we're doing, we're doing it to ourselves.

Great 45-yard catch by KD Cannon for 45 yards set up a strong 16-yard run by J. Hasty for the 1st Baylor TD tonight. The Bears have the lead, and now, we'll see if they can build an 11-point lead in the next offensive series.

And we are a private university so we could have just told everyone to F off and stonewalled them in the meantime until some other university blew up.
