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.

Travon played really well considering he's coming back from knee surgery and it's his first game. Imagine how good he would have looked had this been his third game.

And Patrick Levels had another good night. I'm enthusiastic about this defense's prospects.

The offense on the other hand......

Cool. Now do points scored...
I don't think a few of our fans understand how crucial the OL is to our offense and having 4 new starters on the OLine is going to be a challenge all season. Not to mention if our receivers caught the ball tonight we probably have at least 2-3 more TDs.

We've become spoiled and unless we win 80-0 a few will never be happy.

I'm satisfied with a W most of the time...the constant apologists are just as bad as the chicken littles IMO.
And I understand the difference an OL makes. It's the fact it's not all on the OL that concerns me

96 plays for 623 yards for the Baylor Bears. Those numbers are worthy of more than 38 points, but a shutout by the Baylor defense in the 2nd half, as well as allowing just 31 passing yards on the night, are very impressive! 28-point victory in Houston, and a 3-0 season record going into 2016 Big XII play.
