The blowout most should’ve expected happened for the Texas football program on Sep. 21 happened against the Rice Owls. Not much of a spotlight fell on Texas as they took on a winless Rice team out of the Conference-USA this weekend. Texas did need a bounce back outing in Week 3 after falling short in dramatic fashion to the No. 4 ranked LSU Tigers in Week 2.
However, Texas got back on track as needed by beating Rice by the final score of 48-13. Rice had trouble in most phases of the game, and Texas got rolling early.
