After participating in AAC contests for two weeks in a row, Rice (3-2, 1-1 AAC) gets a brief respite from conference play to battle former AAC member UConn (0-5, Independent) at Rice Stadium.
The Owls are back in the win column after taking out East Carolina 24-17 in a low-scoring nail-biter last Saturday. Rice is one step closer to its first winning season since 2014, and the team has the opportunity to accrue four wins through six games for the first time since the 2013 CUSA title season.
They’ll be favored, as the visiting Huskies have yet to attain anything in the win column.
