Houston football will face off against Rice in the annual Bayou Bucket Classic on Saturday, Sept. 14. This will be the 46th meeting between these two teams in this historic rivalry. In the last meeting, Rice won in a double overtime shootout when Houston failed to convert on a two-point conversion. The Cougars seek to take the trophy back home by continuing the momentum they found in last week’s 16-12 loss to No.
