Houston - Joel Armstrong will be at the helm again when Rice hosts UTEP Saturday in a Conference USA game at historic Rice Stadium.
The sophomore quarterback from Longview injured his right shoulder against Tulsa on Oct. 15 and saw limited playing time last week against Navy. He'll be the starter again Saturday.
"Joel looks the best he has in two weeks," said coach Ken Hatfield. "I told him not to throw (Wednesday) after he threw a lot (Monday), but he didn't back off. He did everything, and I feel real good about that."
Freshman Chase Clement, last week's starter against Navy, will also see action against the Miners (5-1, 3-1 C-USA). Game time for the nationally-televised game (CSTV on I Network, ch. 49 in Houston) will be 5 pm (CDT).
