Notes: Owls quarterback leads charge

A big key to Rice's 22-21 comeback victory against Charlotte was the play of quarterback Tyler Stehling, who threw an early interception but rebounded to lead the rally from three touchdowns behind.

He finished 35-of-49 for 279 yards, 93 rushing yards, and as coach David Bailiff pointed out, a tackle.

"He played with so much grit," Bailiff said. "He really ran the offense well and made great decisions other than when he threw into the Cover-2 and got the interception. But, also in addition to his great stats, he also had one tackle on the day when he threw that interception.
