Rice and Louisiana Tech both look to get back on track after watching their perfect C-USA records unravel in Week 7. In the final edition of the Owls vs. the Bulldogs as a C-USA matchup, a win would work wonders for both teams’ bowl eligibility status. Louisiana Tech has not lost in Ruston in 2022 while Rice has yet to win away from its hometown heading into Saturday’s matchup.
Rice Owls outlook
Rice (3-3, 1-1 C-USA) looked the part of C-USA dark horse contenders. The Owls upended UAB and bounced to an immediate 14-0 advantage over Florida Atlantic on the road last week.
