An owl infestation is expected to arise in Houston, TX on Saturday.
The Florida Atlantic Owls and Rice Owls converge at Rice Stadium for the regular season finale as the two former CUSA opponents meet for the first time as AAC teams. The stakes are varying for both teams involved.
Florida Atlantic (4-7, 3-4 AAC) is eliminated from bowl eligibility for the third consecutive season and this will be its final contest of 2023. Head coach Tom Herman concludes his first year at the helm Saturday, hoping to send his seniors off on a high note.
Rice (5-6, 3-4 AAC) can clinch bowl eligibility for the second consecutive year, but unlike last year, the Owls can do so with six wins.
