The Owls lead the all-time series with UAB 10-5-1, and are 3-0-1 in the past four meetings. On the road, UAB leads the series 4-3-1. Last time out, the two played to a scoreless draw in Birmingham.
A Tough Road Ahead

Weekly Honors (8-28)

New Season, New Conference
The 2023 season marks Rice's inaugural season in the American Athletic Conference (AAC).

Rice is coming off a regular season title in C-USA after posting a 9-0-1 conference record last year.
