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.

Good grief. From the size of the crowd to the play on the field this has the feel of a bad high school game.

Seth must feel pretty confident since I don't think he's tried to slide all night. He needs to get down because the Big 12 teams will target him.

This has been the most unsure set of hands Baylor has had in years.
Platt with another drop.

Wow! Targeting Platt when you need a sure handed grab. Makes no sense.

I feel like it's maybe time to stop trying to make Chris platt a thing. At least in make-or-break situations.

3rd time is the charm for Callahan. #21 Baylor 24, Rice 10 with just over 4 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter. I have to be honest, and say Baylor should have at least 38 points on the scoreboard right now.

Well, the good news is I'm confident I know the substitution rules now.

The bad news is, I already knew them.
