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.

When you can't score against SMU and Rice it's gonna be a really long year.

If you want to be ultra negative you can damn sure bet this is hurting KBs resume. It's clear he is not the genius of the offense.

I agree. Unless he banking on following his pops.

Blaming this on Grobe is asinine. I'm more inclined to point the finger at the asshat that just got fired and thought it would be a good idea to come check on his old job than Grobe.

So many distractions. The sunshine pumper in me thought we would still win 10 games, but now logic is setting in. Just try to fight as hard as you can and then pray we make the right call in December.

It amazes me that a group as smart as this is surprised we are struggling with a lame duck staff.

Just to clarify, do you mean the head coach or the offensive coordinator?

Shoot. I didn't think our offense could put together a worse quarter of football after last week. I was wrong.

If you had hired a brand new staff the hangover from the old staff and bad attitude would not be here. We talk about getting rid of Briles but kept his staff on for this year?

I don't care how many points we have in the first quarter. As long as we have the most after the 4th.
