- Houston needed a ton of turnover luck to sneak past UTSA at home in their season opener, and they won’t benefit from the same in this contest.
- Rice’s defense held up pretty admirably against Texas, as they gave up just 37 points against a team led by a Heisman Trophy candidate in Quinn Ewers.
An all-Texas showdown is set for Saturday, as Houston vs Rice will feature two teams in the second tier of the Lone Star State’s college football hierarchy. In this game, the big question will be whether or not Rice can avoid the turnovers that cost UTSA so dearly against Houston last week. If they can, the Owls should be able to threaten a Houston team that was not impressive at all offensively in their own right last Saturday evening.
