The Cougars are coming off a tough fought victory against the Arizona Wildcats and are set to face the Rice Owls on Saturday at TDECU stadium.
Although a rivalry has been brewing between the Owls and the Cougars, the game should be relatively easy for UH this week. Rice lost their season opener against Stanford by a whopping 55 points and barely won last week’s game against the middling UTEP Miners.
Barring an upset, The Cougar’s sports staff predicts a double-digit victory against the Owls.

Reopening the storied Bayou Bucket series this weekend could not come at a more opportune time for the Cougars.
