What you should know
The Rice Owls remain on the road Saturday to face the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on October 22 at 3:00 p.m. ET at Joe Aillet Stadium. Given that these two teams suffered defeat in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation for this competition.
It was a hard-fought game, but Rice had to settle for a 17-14 loss to the Florida Atlantic Owls last week. Rice was leading 14-to-zero at the end of the first quarter but couldn’t hold on to the lead. A bright spot for her was the play of WR Bradley Rozner, who caught four passes for a TD and 135 yards. One of the most exciting moments was Rozner’s 78-yard TD reception in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, last week’s matchup between Louisiana Tech and the North Texas Mean Green wasn’t particularly close as the Bulldogs lost 47-27. Louisiana Tech’s loss shouldn’t eclipse the performances of WR Tre Harris, who caught five passes for a TD and 114 yards, and QB Parker McNeil, who passed on 37 attempts for two TDs and 424 yards. McNeil’s 58-yard touchdown toss against Harris in the third quarter was one of the most memorable moments of the night.
This next matchup is expected to be tight as Rice goes out as the favorite by just 2.5 points. They might be worth taking a risk against the spread as they currently have a streak of ATS wins in four games.
Rice is now 3-3 while the Bulldogs sit at 2-4. A few stats to keep in mind before kickoff: Rice goes into the matchup averaging just 191.3 passing yards per game, good for the 24th-ranked nation. But Louisiana Tech ranks 19th nationwide for passing yards per game, averaging 300.7. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
