Series Notes

• Charles Ross set a school record by rushing for five touchdowns to lead the Owls to a 52-14 win in 2013 at Rice Stadium in the Owl's most recent win in the series.
• The series began in 1966 at Rice Stadium with a 14-0 Rice win that later became more notable as the college debut of Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame.
• LA Tech's Skip Holtz will be facing Rice for the 10th time, the most of any current C-USA coach. He was 2-1 in three games with East Carolina (2005-06, 2009) and is 6-1 with the Bulldogs
Senior Day Salute
Rice will salute the following members of the 2021 squad who have completed their undergraduate coursework in addition to those Super Seniors who are on course to complete their graduate studies: Miles Adams, Jaren Banks, Andrew Bird, Ari Broussard, Jaeger Bull, Jake Constantine, Prudy Calderon, Jacob Doddridge, Ikenna Enechukwu, Derek Ferraro, Robert French, Elijah Garcia, Wiley Green, Antonio Montero, Jordan Myers, George Nyakwol, Brandt Peterson, August Pitre, Collin Riccitelli, Isaiah Richardson, Campbell Riddle, Naeem Smith, Brendan Suckley, Cameron Valentine, Jason White, Jovaun Woolford
Ending With a Win
Rice has closed out 10 of the last 13 home schedules with a win, sending the respective senior classes out with a win. The Owls won nine consecutive home finales from 2008-2016 before North Texas defeated Rice 30-14 on Senior Day in 2017. The Owls are 53-52-2 all-time in home finales. (Note, the Owls did not play a home game in their first season of play in 1912).
Interior Defense
