The 44th Bayou Bucket is here.
Similar to 2021, UH football enters the contest against cross-town rival Rice hoping to use the game as a springboard after a tough start to the season:
A look at Rice:
Rice enters the Bayou Bucket coming off arguably its biggest win under head coach Mike Bloomgren as the Owls snapped Louisiana’s 15-game win streak, the longest in the nation, with a 33-21 victory over the Ragin’ Cajuns.
At 2-1, UH head coach Dana Holgorsen knows that this Rice team is different from the team that the Cougars’ crushed a year ago.
