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.

I'm playing a fun dangerous drinking game: Platt drops and Callahan misses.

You can probably forget beating Texas, okie or TCU.

Maybe ISU, KSU or OSU.

Almost certainly Kansas.

Seth isn't it. He looks like he has no confidence in his play. Of course, neither do I right now.

Hey the 1 good thing is that the Big 12 is really bad this year. So Baylor has a chance to finish in the top of the league. UTEP is beating Arizona St. 14-3 in the 2nd Q. The same team that beat TT.

I'm not saying he's sharp but I think Seth's issue has much to do with receivers. He and KD have it going on.

14 for Rice is pretty fast. Cannon has beat him all night but he's been right with him for the tackle every time.

I think we should retire jersey #40. For several reasons.

And there it is. ESPN was waiting for us to go up big before starting the Briles talk.
