Last Action

Rice started fast and never gave Marshall a chance to rebound, scoring on its first two possession on the way to a 41-24 win in the Conference USA Championship Game at Rice Stadium. Sophomore running back Luke Turner earned MVP honors thanks to a pair of touchdown passes while junior WR Jordan Taylor and senior RB Charles Ross each topped 100 yards to key the victory. Taylor set a championship game record with his 75-yard TD reception on the Owls’ second possession. On defense, the Owls held down a Thundering Herd attack that had averaged over 50 points in the final five games of the regular season to just 24.

Starting with the Coin Toss

The Honors Season

David Bailiff was named C-USA’s Coach of the Year, while a record 10 Owls were named to either the All Conference USA first or second team in voting by league coaches. This is the second time Bailiff has been honored by his peers, having won the award in 2008. Christian Covington, Phillip Gaines, Trevor Gillette, Nate Richard, Charles Ross were all named to the All C-USA first team, while Chris Boswell, Bryce Callahan, Michael Kutzler, Turner Petersen and Jordan Taylor were named to the second team. This is the most all-conference selections for Rice in nine seasons of play in C-USA, as well as in the Owls’ nine seasons in the WAC. The Southwest Conference did not name its own team, but honored those players who were consensus picks by the various media outlets. Rice shows a total of 12 players who received recognition from at least one publication in 1993.

In C-USA

Rice is 37-36 (.507) in Conference USA since entering the league in 2005. The Owls were 1-7 in their initial season in C-USA and have posted a 36-29 record over the past eight seasons (30-27 under David Bailiff). Rice has an overall mark of 24-12 in Conference USA at Rice Stadium and 0-1 at Reliant Stadium, 13-23 on the road.

On a Roll

The Owls have won 15 of their last 18 games dating back to 44-17 win over Southern Miss at Rice Stadium on October 27. It is the best stretch since the Owls won 15 of 17 from November 8, 1952 to October 2, 1954. Rice’s three losses this season have come to bowl teams (Texas A&M, Houston, North Texas).

Back to Back

The Owls have won 17 games the last two years (16-9), matching the best two-year span in school history. Jimmy Kitts was 17-4-1 in his first two years as the head coach of the Owls in 1934-35 (9-1/8-3).

Vs. the SEC

Rice has an overall record of 23-45-5in games against teams from the Southestern Conference (games vs. Arkansas and Texas A&M are not included in this total, nor are four games vs. LSU played before the founding of the conference in 1932). Rice has had its most success against Alabama, with the Owls 3-0 all-time mark being the most wins without a loss vs. the Crimson Tide. Rice also has winning marks against Florida (4-3-1) and Georgia (1-0). Rice has twice played SEC schools in bowl games. They blanked Tennessee 8-0 in the 1947 Orange Bowl, but lost to Ole Miss 14-6 in the 1961 Sugar Bowl.

Here and There

Rice was a perfect 6-0 at home this season, its first perfect home campaign since the 2008 squad was 6-0. Rice finished 4-2 on road this season to post its first winning season on the road since they were 4-3 outside of Houston in 2006. Rice has also won five of its last six C-USA road contests.

Brains and Brawn-I

Rice, Tulane, Stanford and Georgia have been named the winners of the 2013 AFCA Academic Achievement Award, which is presented by the Touchdown Club of Memphis. This is the second time in the last four years that Rice has shared this award (2010 with Northwestern). Each of the four schools honored this year are bowl eligible this year.

Brains and Brawn-II

Rice is one of three of the top five FBS programs in the NCAA’s most recent graduation success rankings to earn bowl berths this season. Northwestern (4-8) led the study with a 97 percent graduation rate for its football student athlete. Rice (9-3) was second with a 96 pct. mark, followed by Boston College (7-5) 94 pct.; Notre Dame (8-4) 94 pct.; and Air Force (2-10) 93 pct.

Brains and Brawn-III

Stanford and Duke were featured in preseason media touting the schools success on the field and in the classroom. Those two schools will join Rice in playing on their respective conference championship games on Saturday. Rice, Duke and Stanford have combined for a combined 29-7 record this year.

Brains and Brawn-IV

With the completion of their last finals prior to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, 11 active Owls will play their final games with degrees in hand: Cody Bauer, Chris Boswell, Alex Francis, Andre Gautreaux, Jon Hodde, Klein Kubiak, Michael Kutzler, Tanner Leland, Taylor McHargue and Nate Richards. Two other players (Corey Frazier and Turner Petersen) have also received their degrees, but were unable to complete the season due to injuries sustained this year.

Ross Looks for Milestones

Charles Ross’ monster night vs. Louisiana Tech vaulted him into the upper half of both the Rice single-season and career rushing charts as well as the school scoring lists. Ross now has 1,252 yards this season, which ranks fourth in school history and he is 137 yards from moving into second. Trevor Cobb set the school mark with 1,692 while winning the Doak Walker Award in 1991. Ross’ 2,661 career yards are already second, trailing just Cobb’s 4,984. Ross’ eight scores on the ground in the last four weeks give him 33 career rushing touchdowns and 35 total scores. His 35 total touchdowns are tied for third with Robbie Beck (2000-03). Ross has also rushed for 2,052 yards in the last two seasons, the best two-year total since Cobb compiled 3,078 from 1991-92.

Ground Owl

Rice leads C-USA and ranks 16th nationally with an average of 240.2 yards per game on the ground. The Owls’ 3,122 yards rushing this year are the most in a season since 2004 when they ran for 3,372 yards in 11 games and ranks sixth in school history. Rice has five current backs who have topped 100 yards rushing at least once in their career.

Leading the Way

Charles Ross leads C-USA with an average of 113.8 yards per game, but in five of the 11 games he has played in, he saw limited action. He missed the second half vs. Houston with an injury that caused him to miss the FAU and Tulsa games. He started but saw only limited action vs. UTSA and missed the most of the second half vs. UNT and UAB. While the formula to determine his average per game is 11, in reality, he’s played the equivalent of 9.5 games.

Moving to the Top

With one game remaining, Rice’s offense has already entered the top ranks of seasons in school history. The 2013 Owls rank third in school history with 5,533 total yards; 998 plays, 408 points and 295 first downs.

Keeping Them Close

Despite facing two of the top 10 scoring offenses in the country, Rice has allowed 94 fewer points through 13 games than they did in 2012. Rice has given up 298 points (22.9 per game). Last year, the Owls had allowed 390 points in 13 games. In six home games this year, Rice allowed an average of 14 points per game (84 total).

In the previous seven seasons, the Owls had allowed an average of 37.7 points per game. The 2012 Owls cut that margin by holding the opposition to an average of 30 per game, and through 13 games this season that mark has fallen to 22.9. Rice ranks 33rd in scoring defense this season after ranking 99th just two seasons ago.

Pin Them Deep

In addition to his record-setting efforts on place kicks, Chris Boswell also excelled on kickoffs this season. He is second with 54 touchbacks, but his 77 percent rate for touchbacks lead the nation. Facing a UTEP kick return unit that came into the game ranked second in the conference and sixth in the nation, Boswell held the Miners to an average starting field position of its own 20 on eight Interceptions per Game kickoffs.

Head coach David Bailiff is one of 20 coaches who were named to the 2013 Paul Bear Bryant Award watch list. Sponsored by the Marathon Oil Corporation and benefiting the American Heart Association, the 28th annual Bryant Award will be presented on Jan. 15, 2014 in Houston. Bailiff is the only C-USA coach among the 20 contenders for the honor

Houston’s Best Sports Role Model

Head coach David Bailiff was selected by the Houston Press as Houston’s Best Sports Role Model as part of the publication’s annual “Best of Houston” edition. In recognizing Bailiff, the article stated “There are plenty of college football coaches who talk about molding their student-athletes into great men but few who put into practice an example to strive for quite like Rice head football coach David Bailiff.”

Leland and Porras Academic All District VII

Two starters on the Owls’ defense, Tanner Leland and Paul Porras, have been named to the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District team for Region 7 in voting by college sports information directors. Leland has compiled a 3.58 GPA as a Mathematical Economic Analysis major. Porras carries a 3.39 GPA while majoring in Sport Management and Religious Studies. Both players will be placed on the final ballot to determine the 2013 CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-America team which will be announced later in November.

Ground Owl

The Owls’ 415 yards on the ground vs. La Tech was their second game over 400 yards this year and the most in a game since Ken Haftfield’s option attack rolled up 495 yards vs. SMU in 2004. The Owls are ranked 15th nationally, averaging 242 yards per game on the ground, their highest total since they averaged 306 per game on the ground in 2004.

Rally Owls

Four of the Owls 10 wins this year came after the Owls have trailed late in the game. They were down 14-13 entering the fourth quarter vs. Kansas before winning 23-14 and 7-6 to FAU before emerging with an 18-14 decision. They trailed 27-24 in overtime at Tulsa before Darik Dillard’s game winning touchdown and trailed 34-31 at UAB before Luke Turner won it with one-yard run.

Walk Off Wins

Luke Turner’s winning score at UAB marked the fifth time in David Bailiff’s tenure that the Owls have won on the game’s last play, and the second time this season. They have won three times on field goals and twice on touchdowns. Darik Dillard’s caught a 25-yard pass from Taylor McHargue in overtime at Tulsa earlier this year. Clark Fangmeier’s 31-yard field goal gave the Owls a 43-42 win over SMU in 2007. In 2011, Justin Allen’s block of a Purdue field goal attempt as the clock expired preserved a 24-22 win over Purdue and Chris Boswell’s 45-yard field goal at Kansas in 2012 gave Rice its first-ever win over a Big XII school as time ran out.

Double Centuries

Charles Ross and Jordan Taylor have each topped 100 yards in the same game twice this year. Ross ran for 152 yards vs. UTEP while Taylor set a career-high with 185 yards receiving to give Rice its first combination of 100 yard rusher and receiver this year. Theywere the first pair since the Marshall game in 2012 when Sam McGuffie finished with 102 while Taylor McHargue ran for 153. Ross now has 12 career 100 yard rushing games, Taylor four games with at least 100 yards receiving to lead the active roster. McHargue, Turner Petersen and Luke Turner all have rushed for over 100 yards in a game in their career, while Taylor is the only Owl to have a 100-yard receiving day.

Bonus Ball

Rice is 6-4 all-time in overtime games, including a 3-3 mark on the road and a 3-1 mark at home. The Owls have won their last three road overtime games, including a pair this year. Luke Turner scored from 1-yard out to defeat UAB while Darik Dillard snared a 25-yard TD pass from Taylor McHargue at Tulsa. Darik Dillard’s older brother Jarett caught a 25-yarder at Tulsa in 2006 to start the streak of road overtime wins. Rice’s first OT game came in 1998 when they beat SMU 23-17.

Fast Starts

Rice has scored first in 12 of 13 games this year, including touchdowns on five opening possessions (Texas A&M, Houston, Tulsa, New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech). The Owls scored a defensive touchdown on Kansas’ first possession (and second series of the game), while they took 3-0 leads on Chris Boswell field goals vs. FAU, UTSA, UTEP and UAB and took a 2-0 lead over UNT on a safety when a Mean Green punt was snapped out of the end zone.

Rice had held 21 of the last 22 opponents scoreless on their opening possessions. Houston broke the 12-game streak of holding opponents scoreless on their opening possession. Rice opened the year by forcing Texas A&M to punt on its opening possession and followed that by driving 96-yards on its first possession to snap a 17-game streak by Texas A&M in which it had scored first. In their last 15 games, the Owls’ defense has forced nine punts, created five turnovers (three fumbles, two interceptions) and had one missed field goal on the opening possession.

Scooping Up Some Scores

After a drought of 35 games, Rice’s defense has scored 11 touchdowns over the last three years (37 games) including scores in three of the first five games this year. They have scored six times on fumble recoveries, three times on interceptions, once on a blocked punt and once on a blocked field goal. Michael Kutzler, Phillip Gaines and Cameron Nwosu each have a pair of defensive scores in their careers, while Paul Porras, Gabe Baker, Alex Lyons and Cody Bauer each reached the end zone once in their careers.

Scoring Assists

Christian Covington literally had a hand in the Owls’ first two defensive touchdowns this season. He partially deflected a Jake Heaps pass vs. Kansas that allowed Michael Kutzler to intercept and return for a 52-yard touchdown and the following week, he blocked Richie Leone’s field goal attempt which Alex Lyons picked up and returned 62 yards for a score.

Move the Chains

Rice finished with 35 first downs vs. Louisiana Tech, matching the second-best effort in school history. The Owls also had 35 first downs vs. La Tech in 2003 and vs. Marshall last season. They picked up 25 of their first downs on the ground, to set a Conference USA record. The previous best had been 23 by Southern Miss vs. Alcorn State on September 5, 1999.

Octoberfest

Rice finished a hectic October with a 4-1 record, the Owls best mark in the month since they were also 4-1 in 1999. Rice has had a five-game October schedule 28 previous seasons and had a winning record nine times. The 1960 Owls finished their October schedule a perfect 5-0, while the 1932, 1949 and 1999 teams were 4-1. Seven times in since 1966, the Owls were winless in five-game October slates. The Owls lost 17 straight games in the month from 1981-85.

Best Conference Streak

Rice’s 45-7 win over UTEP extended their C-USA winning streak to a school-record eight games. Rice had previously won seven straight C-USA games between 2006-07 and seven in a row in the SWC from 1957-58. The Owls were unbeaten in 10 consecutive SWC games from 1948-49, posting a 9-0-1 mark over that stretch. They won three straight at the end of 1948 before tying the traditional finale with Baylor, 7-7. They were a perfect 6-0 in 1949 before dropping the conference opener in 1950.

Best Conference Starts

The Owls started 4-0 in C-USA for the first time in school history. The last time they opened a conference season 4-0 was in 1999, again in the WAC. That year the Owls lost their final three conference games to finish the season 4-3. Rice’s 6-2 start is its best since the 2001 team opened the year 6-2 before dropping two of its last four to finish 8-4 and be denied a bowl berth because the WAC had only two bowl tie-ins.

Debuts 9 8 7 6

Connor Patterson and John Poehlmann became the 18th and 19th Owls to make their debuts this year when they took the field vs. Louisiana Tech. Jayson Carter and Reid Mitchell made their debuts with their first career action vs. UTEP. Cody Henessee, Austin Laudenslager, Bobby Kieswetter, Brandon Dawkins and Spencer Stanley raised the total number of collegiate debuts to 15 when they appeared at New Mexico State and both Henessee (assist) and Laudenslager (INT) picked up stats on their first plays. Zach Wright made his debut when he played on special teams vs. UTSA. Jowan Davis became the 10th Owl and fourth true freshman to make his collegiate debut this season when he carried the ball nine times for 39 yards vs. FAU. Nine Owls made their collegiate debuts in the opener at College Station (Anthony Canady, Connor Cella, Darik Dillard, Alex Lyons, Tabari McGaskey, Graysen Schantz, Justin Warren, Chandler Watkins and Robby Wells). Canady, Schantz and Wells are true freshmen, Cella, Dillard, Lyons, McGaskey and Watkins are redshirt freshmen and Warren is a junior who returned to school this year after missing last year due to illness in his family. In addition to this eight, redshirt sophomore defensive

back Ryan Pollard made his Rice debut. Pollard played in four games for Air Force in 2011 and then transferred to Rice.

First Starts

Sophomore Nick Elder became the eighth first-time starter for the Owls this year when he opened at linebacker at UAB. Ross Winship took over for Stuart Mouchantaf vs. UNT. Senior Josh Skinner made his first career start at New Mexico State. Redshirt freshman Alex Lyons started at linebacker at UTSA and Jowan Davis was part of a two-back set to open the Tulsa game. Michael Kutzler and redshirt freshmen Connor Cella and Darrion Pollard made their first career starts vs. A&M. Kutzler was credited with a career-high 11 tackles, including one of the Owls’ two sacks of Johnny Manziel. Cella opened the Owls first drive with his first catch (26 yards) and finished with four catches for 52 yards. Pollard, who was granted a medical redshirt after being injured in the 2012 season opener vs. UCLA, also made his debut as a kick returner, returning three for 52 yards. In addition to the two position starters, sophomore walk-on James Farrimond made his debut as the Owls’ punter.

Back to Bob

Luke Turner was named “Bob” in 2012 by the seniors, who decided that the team already had a Luke (Willson) and another running back named Turner (Petersen) and no freshman deserved to be nicknamed “L.T.” Even with Willson’s move the NFL, Turner’s nickname has stuck. So to be clear, if you hear a reference to “Bob”, it’s No. 35 in the program.

Signal Corps

Luke Turner, who threw his second career touchdown pass in as many attempts when he hit Turner Petersen for 57 yards vs. Houston, is one of eight former HS quarterbacks on the Owls’ current roster who are not listed at that position: WR Derek Brown, TE Jeremy Eddington, RB Turner Petersen, WR Jordan Taylor, TE Robby Wells, SAF Julius White and WR Zack Wright are the others.

Senior Bowl is Watching

Senior cornerback Phillip Gaines and senior kicker Chris Boswell were named to the Watch List for the 2014 Reese’s Senior Bowl, which will be held in Mobile, Alabama on January 25, 2014. This is the second consecutive year that Owls have had a player named to the watch list. Vance McDonald was named to the list in 2012, was selected to play in the game and went on to be selected in the second round of the NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

Kutzler Nominated for Wuerffel Trophy & Tabbed Most Improved in Texas

Owls senior linebacker Michael Kutzler, who has led the team in tackles after stepping in for two-year starter Cameron Nwosu, has been nominated for the 2013 Wuerffel Trophy. The honor is presented each year by the All Sports Association of Fort Walton Beach, Florida to the college football player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement. Kutzler was also recognized this week by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, who named him the “Most Improved Defensive Player in Texas College Football” in their midseason award.

Preseason Honors

Senior cornerback Phillip Gaines was selected by C-USA Coaches as the preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Gaines was joined as preseason All C-USA picks by sophomore defensive tackle Christian Covington and senior center Nate Richards. Gaines and Chris Boswell were both named to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football’s preseason All Texas College first team, while wide receiver Jordan Taylor, defensive end Cody Bauer and linebacker Cameron Nwosu were named to the season team. Phil Steele tabbed Gaines and Nwosu on his first team defense, while he placed six on his second team (Bauer, Bryce Callahan and Paul Porras on defense; Richards and Caleb Williams on offense as well as Boswell), three on his third team (Covington on defense, Taylor and Drew Carroll on offense) and quarter Taylor McHargue on the fourth team. Athlon named Bauer and Gaines to its first team, while Richards, Nwosu and Boswell earned second team nods.

Watchmen

Nate Richards, Phillip Gaines and Chris Boswell have been tabbed by national awards to be included on their preseason Watch Lists. Richards is on both the Rimington and Rotary Lombardi Award lists, Gaines was named to the preseason lists for the Jim Thorpe Award and by the Walter Camp Foundation. Boswell was named to his third consecutive Groza Award watch list.

No Blankings

Rice has not been shut out in a game since a 37-0 loss at TCU in 2000, a span of 158 games. Rice hasn’t shut out an opponent since blanking UNLV 38-0 to open the 1995 season (220 games).

:00 On the Clock

Chris Boswell’s 23-yard field goal as time expired to send the Marshall game into overtime was his second three-pointer in 2012 as time expired. He also nailed a 45-yard field goal to beat Kansas as the clock struck zero. His game-winner marked the third time in David Bailiff’s tenure that the Owls have won on the final play of the game, with all three involving field goals. Clark Fangmeier’s 31-yard field goal gave the Owls a 43-42 win over SMU in 2007. In 2011, Justin Allen’s block of a Purdue field goal attempt at the clock ran preserved a 24-22 win over Purdue.

5K+1K

Taylor McHargue and Chase Clement are the only players in school history to have thrown for 5,000 yards and rushed for at least 1,000. Clement holds the school career total offense mark, throwing for 9,785 and rushing for 1,741 in his career. McHargue stands at 6,038 yards passing and 1,413 rushing.

Walking On

Former walk-ons Michael Kutzler (LB) and Tanner Leland (DE) have been in the starting lineup all year and are two of 10 walk-ons to see action this season, joining defensive tackle Bobby Kiesewetter, safety Austin Laudenslager, defensive end Brian Nordstrom, guard Matt Simonette, punter James Farrimond, linebacker Chandler Watkins, wide receiver Zach Wright and running back Jayson Carter are the others.

Back on the Field

Members of the Rice football team were on the field at Rice Stadium the day after the loss to Houston in the Bayou Bucket, hosting members of the Challenger Football League for their annual game. Over 20 players participated, including quarterback Taylor McHargue, linebacker Michael Kutzler, guard Andrew Reue, running back Darik Dillard and DT Stuart Mouchantaf.

Returning Heisman Winners

For the third time in their history, the Owls faced a reigning Heisman Trophy winner when they lost to Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M, 52-31. Rice is 1-2 all-time in similar situations, defeating Doak Walker and SMU in 41-27 in 1949 and losing to Billy Sims and Oklahoma 63-12 in 1979. Heading into 2013, Texas has won the most games vs. Heisman winners, three in five meetings. Florida State (1-3), Iowa (0-3-1) Michigan (2-2), Notre Dame (2-2) and UCLA (2-2) are next with four each followed by Alabama (2-1), LSU (2-2), Ole Miss (1-2) and Arkansas (0-5).

Home Sweet Home

The Owls completed their 64th year of play at Rice Stadium and have an overall record of 167-180-7 in their home stadium. The largest on-campus venue in the Southwest Conference when it opened in 1950, Rice Stadium dwarfed its closest rivals at Texas (60,136) and Texas A&M (42,000) during its inaugural season and remained the largest on-campus facility in the league until Texas expanded to 77,809 in 1971. The entire construction project began with ground-breaking in February of 1950 after a public campaign to upgrade facilities for the Owls, who were coming off a 10-1 season and a No. 5 ranking in the national polls. Rice began playing college football at West End Park near downtown Houston in 1912 and later moved to a location on the corner of University and Main which became known as Rice Field. That location remains the home of the Owls’ track and soccer programs.

Casey Featured

Former Owl James Casey was featured in a segment on ESPN Monday Night Football’s pre-game show on September 9 prior to his debut with the Eagles that night. The segment focused on Casey’s remarkable career path, from the loss of his mother while in high school, his career in minor league baseball, then earning a scholarship to play for Rice after retiring from baseball.

NFL Eyes Owls

After having only four players drafted in the previous 20 years, Rice has seen six taken in the last five NFL Drafts, highlighted by a pair of tight ends selected in the first five rounds of the 2013 Draft. Vance McDonald was taken by the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers’ with the 55th overall pick in the second round, the highest selection for an Owl since Bert Emanuel was taken by Atlanta with the 45th selection in 1994. Luke Willson was taken by Seattle in the fifth round, making Rice and Stanford the only schools to have a pair of tight ends to be drafted in

WHAT’S YOUR COLLEGE?

SCHOLAR-ATHLETES Institutional Excellence

Rice University has received the Conference USA Institutional Excellence Award in seven of the eight years it has been a member of the conference. The Institutional Excellence Award is given to the C-USA institution with the highest grade point average during the current academic year for all student-athletes in conference-sponsored sports.

Classroom Champions

Rice has been honored twice in the last four years by the American Football Coaches Association for its graduation success. The Owls shared the AFCA Academic Achievement Award, (presented by the Touchdown Club of Memphis) in 2010 with Northwestern and in 2013 with Georgia, Stanford and Tulane. The Owls have been recognized for their graduation progress in 24 of the last 25 years, earning 22 Honorable Mention honors in addition to winning the top honor twice. In addition, Rice was again honored by the NCAA with a Public Recognition Award for posting a graduation rate that ranked in the top 10 percent among all football programs based on their APR tracking system. Only four schools competing in the NCAA’s Bowl Subdivision had a higher percentage of their programs honored by the NCAA. The Owls finished 18th among all schools who field at least one team at the NCAA Division I level, and their total of seven honored teams led all Division I programs in Texas as well as Conference USA. The football team provided 39 of 214 Rice student-athletes who earned a spot on the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

SAAC Champions

Rice University’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was recognized in 2012 by National SAAC with the organization’s Award of Excellence. The honor, which is now given annually, recognizes a campus SAAC which has organized special and unique community. Among the activities that the Rice SAAC was cited for in the award were organizing “Owls on Stage,” the first ever talent show for Rice student-athletes., coordinating an annual food drive prior to the holidays, reaching out and giving back to the community with appearances and involvement at area schools.

Answering the question, “What’s your college?” starts as soon as a new Rice student walks through the sally port of iconic Lovett Hall the first night of O-Week (new student orientation). One of the unique aspects of Rice is the residential college system. Students often cite the college system as one of the best, most rewarding things about Rice. All students are randomly assigned to one of 11 self-governing residential colleges. More than just a residence hall, Rice’s colleges are students’ primary place for dining, studying and socializing. The Owls’ football team has representation in all 11 colleges, including the school’s two newest colleges which opened in time for the 2009-10 academic year –Duncan College and McMurtry College.

Rice = Happy Students The nation’s happiest students with the best quality of life are at Rice University, according to the 2012 edition of the Princeton Review’s “The Best 376 Colleges.” And that’s according to the students. For the third year in a row, students surveyed for the annual college guide ranked Rice No. 1 for best quality of life. The new edition also ranks Rice No. 1 for happiest students. The rankings are based on a survey of 122,000 students at 376 schools during 2010-11 and the previous two school years. An average of 325 students at each school participated in the survey. Only about 15 percent of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges, plus three colleges outside the U.S., are profiled in the book. Rice’s top spot on the “Best Quality of Life” list is based on responses from students to questions about food, dorm comfort, campus beauty, ease of getting around campus, location, campus safety, interaction among different types of students on campus, satisfaction with the school administration, and friendliness and happiness of the students.

the first five rounds of the 2013 draft. This marked the second time in the last five years that a pair of Owls was drafted in the same year (Jarett Dillard and James Casey, 2008). Prior to 2013, it had been 21 years between two drafts that saw multiple Rice selections. Frank Wilson, Darryl Grant and Calvin France were taken in 1981 and Ryan Pontbriand and Brandon Green were both selected in 2003. In addition to the six drafted players, Andrew Sendejo who was signed as a free agent, is entering his third season with the Vikings, while Sam McGuffie was signed by Oakland this spring. Dillard entered training camp with Arizona. Ozougwu and Solomon both changed their commitments to Rice late in the 2007 recruiting process after David Bailiff took over as Rice head coach in late January of that year. The following year, Bailiff signed future draft picks McDonald and Willson. Five members of the Owls’ 2008 Texas Bowl champions have now appeared on NFL rosters (Jarett Dillard, Casey, Sendejo, Ozougwu and Solomon).

He added four catches for 49 yards in the playoffs. Casey had 66 career receptions for 752 yards in his four seasons with the Texans. In 2011, Casey became the first Owl to score an NFL touchdown since Patrick Dendy returned an interception 30 yards for a score for Green Bay at Chicago (Dec. 31, 2006). He became the first Owl to catch a touchdown pass since Bert Emanuel caught a 52-yard scoring strike from Jay Fiedler of the Dolphins almost 11 years to the day (Sept. 24, 2000). Vance McDonald has eight for 119 yards in his first season with San Francisco. Cheta Ozougwu was activated by the Chicago Bears from their practice squad on November 17 and made an immediate impact, picking up a sack and forced fumble of Joe Flacco.

The CFL Connection

Rice assistant head coach Darrell Patterson, who coaches linebackers and coordinates special teams, played eight seasons in the Canadian Football League and has spearheaded the Owls’ recruiting efforts in Canada. Those CFL connections have aided in the recruitment of the players in general, but particularly of starters Paul Porras and Christian Covington. Patterson, who played linebacker, was traded to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats during the 1988 season, where he became teammates with the fathers of both Porras and Covington. Tom Porras was a quarterback, while Covington was a standout defensive end who went on to set the CFL career sack record and was elected to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2000.

2013 HONOR JERSEYS

This season, four Owls will honor Rice’s first three African-American football recruits, in addition to the player who was their recruiting host, by wearing their numbers. The Honor Jersey program began in 2012 when Cameron Nwosu and Turner Petersen changed their numbers to honor O.J. Brigance and the late King Hill.

Head Coach Seventh Season

In leading Rice to its first Conference USA title as well as a second consecutive bowl game, David Bailiff continues to deliver on his pledge to build a program at Rice that makes its mark on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Bailiff has led the Owls to 10 wins for the second time in his career, matching Jess Neely’s 1949 squad for the most in school history and their victory over Marshall gave Rice its first outright conference championship since 1957. He has twice led the Owls to bowl wins (2008 Texas Bowl; 2012 Armed Forces Bowl) and needs one more win to match Neely for the most in school history. At the same time, his squad was honored by the American Football Coaches Association as one of four schools to share their Academic Achievement Award, having posted a 100% graduation rate. The Owls were also honored by the AFCA in 2010 Rice has led Conference USA football teams in GPA in each of his seven seasons as head coach. He is a member of the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees and has served as a member of the USA Today Coaches’ Poll for the past four seasons. He was honored with the Greater Houston Football Coaches Association’s John Kelley Distinguished Service Award and by the Conference USA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Coaches Choice Award winner for 2011-12. He was also cited by the Houston Press as “Houston’s Best Sports Role Model” in its 2013 Best of Houston edition. In 2011 Bryce Callahan became the third Owl under Bailiff to earn multiple Freshman All-America honors and Bailiff has also produced a pair of All Americans (Jarett Dillard and Kyle Martens) and has seen six players off his squads drafted by the NFL in the last five years while two others have signed as free agents. Bailiff’s staff has made the state of Texas a priority in recruiting, solidifying relationships with high school coaches throughout the state that has also seen the Owls increase their walk-on program. Most recently, the walk-on program has produced 2013 starters Tanner Leland and Michael Kutzler as well as starting punter James Farrimond. He has also made good on his promise to keep the Owls active in community work, as the Owls have been tireless in their efforts with local schools as well as reaching out to Rice’s diverse student population through an annual International Students’ Clinic each August. In July of 2009, Bailiff accepted an invitation to join with four other college football coaches on a goodwill tour to visit military personnel stationed in Afghanistan and again honored our troops in 2011 by participating as a driver in the “Crossing of America” tour. The Owls also are regular participants in efforts to send care packages to members of the armed forced deployed overseas. The Rice football team was honored by the Texas Association of Partners in Education with their TAPE’s Crystal Award for the program the Owls conducted in 2007 with the students at Arizona Fleming Elementary School in Houston. His players support of Big Brothers helped Rice Athletics be honored in 2012 as one of the Houston chapter’s Community Partners of the Year. In 2008, the Owls endured a series of challenges as well as the aftermath of Hurricane Ike and produced the first 10-win season for Rice since 1949 and the Owls’ first victory in a bowl game since their memorable win over Alabama in the 1954 Cotton Bowl. For his efforts, Bailiff was honored by his conference peers as the 2008 Conference USA Coach of the Year. Opening with a 56-point outburst against SMU on national TV in late August, Chase Clement and his band of receivers piled up points at a record pace. Clement and Jarett Dillard went on to become the most productive passing duo in NCAA history, while Dillard broke the NCAA career mark for touchdown receptions. Clement shattered the conference career marks for touchdown passes and total touchdowns, while James Casey, the multi-talented former pro baseball player, broke the C-USA record with 111 catches. Bailiff came to Rice after three seasons as the head coach at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX where he posted a 21-15 record while leading the Bobcats to their first Southland Conference championship and the semifinals of the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs in 2005. In his last two seasons at Texas State, Bailiff produced standouts both on the field and in the classroom. He produced both the Southland Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in 2005 (Barrick Nealy and Fred Evans) and the league’s Student Athlete of the Year for football in 2006 (Walter Musgrove). Overall, he produced a total of 14 All Southland Conference first team selections, and 13 players who were named to the academic all conference squad in his last two years. The 2005 season was truly a magical one. The Bobcats went 9-2 during the regular season and earned the school’s first berth in the Division I-AA playoffs.

In their first game, the Bobcats stormed back from a 35-16 deficit against Division I-AA national power Georgia Southern to score 34 unanswered points and beat the Eagles 50-35. The ‘Cats then defeated Cal Poly 14-7 to move on to the national semifinals. Only a 40-37 overtime loss to Northern Iowa stood between Texas State and an appearance in the Division I-AA National Championship Game. Bailiff was named the American Football Coaches Association’s Region 5 Coach of the Year and finished third in the voting for the Eddie Robinson Award presented annually to the top coach in Division I-AA. Prior to being named Texas State head coach, Bailiff spent three seasons on the staff at TCU. He served as the Horned Frogs’ defensive coordinator in both 2002 and 2003 while working with the team’s defensive lineman. The 2003 Horned Frogs posted an 11-2 record and were ranked 25th in the final Associated Press writers poll and 24th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. Bailiff was part of a staff which built quite a tradition on defense at TCU. During his three seasons in Fort Worth, the Horned Frogs were ranked 24th, 1st and 38th in the country in total defense and 10th, first and ninth against the run. In 2002, TCU allowed just 240.2 yards of total offense per game which led the country. The Horned Frogs surrendered an average 64.8 yards on the ground. During the year, the Frogs held Tulane to a school-record -53 yards rushing. TCU also ranked second in the country in pass efficiency defense, allowing opponents to complete less than 39 percent of their passes. Six TCU defensive players earned all-conference accolades in 2002 including Conference USA Defensive Player of the year and Second-Team All-American LaMarcus MacDonald. While at TCU, the Horned Frogs played in a bowl game every season - the galleryfurniture.com Bowl (2001), AXA Liberty Bowl (2002) and the Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl (2003). He began his coaching career as the defensive line coach at New Braunfels High School (1982-84). He went into private business from 1984-88 before returning to the coaching ranks as a defensive graduate assistant coach at Texas State in 1988 . He was elevated to the Bobcats’ defensive line coach in 1989. Bailiff left Texas State in 1992 for an assistant coaching position at New Mexico. He returned to Texas State in 1997 as defensive coordinator and added assistant head coach responsibilities to his role in 1999. It was in 1999 that Bailiff was selected the NCAA Division I-AA Assistant Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. While at TCU Bailiff was also honored as the Top Assistant Football Coach by the All-American Football Foundation following the Horned Frogs’ 2002 season. As a player, Bailiff was named All-Lone Star Conference as well as All-America honorable mention while playing at Texas State from 1977-80. He served as a team captain in 1980 and was named honorable mention to the Lone Star Team of the Decade. Bailiff is married to the former Angie Daniels of Versailles, Mo. He has a daughter, Brooke and the couple has twin 16-year-old sons, Grayson and Gregory.

Aug. 31, 2013 • College Station, Texas • Kyle Field

Rice University football reached the end zone on each of its first two possessions to take a pair of seven-point leads before No. 7 Texas A&M found its rhythm to take a lead and claim a 52-31 win over the Owls in the season opener for both teams on Saturday afternoon in front of 86,686 fans at Kyle Field. Charles Ross shouldered the brunt of the ground attack for the visitors, carrying the ball 20 times for a game-high 107 yards and a pair of scores. It was the senior’s fifth 100-yard effort of his career. The Owls amassed a total of 304 yards on the ground with a 5.7 yards per carry average against the Aggies, including a career-long 57-yard scamper by quarterback Taylor McHargue.

Making his fourth season-opening start, McHargue completed 18-of30 passes for 182 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He added 76 yards on nine carries as well. Once the Owls claimed a 14-7 advantage, the Aggies regrouped to score 21 unanswered points in the second quarter to gain the lead for good. Trailing 28-14 late in the first half, McHargue connected with Jordan Taylor to pull the Owls back within seven points. On the ensuing kickoff, the Owls forced a fumble and recovered it with just enough time to attempt a long field goal and cement a momentum swing. The kick sailed wide right, however, and Rice was unable to pull any closer than the 28-21 halftime deficit. Taylor caught seven passes for 69 yards and a score, while Connor Cella added 53 yards on four catches. Starting in place of suspended 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, quarterback Matt Joeckel put together a solid first half with 191 passing yards on 14-of-19 completions. Manziel made his sophomore debut in the second half, completing 7-of-9 passes for 103 yards and four touchdowns and rushing six times for 18 yards. On defense, both Christian Covington and Michael Kutzler each recorded one sack.

Sept. 14, 2013 • Houston, Texas • Rice Stadium

Rice rode the rugged running of Charles Ross and the accurate right leg of Chris Boswell to stage a fourth quarter rally and down Kansas 23-14 in the Owls home opener at Rice Stadium. Ross rushed for a career-high 157 yards and iced the game with an 8-yard run late in the fourth quarter while Boswell booted three field goals, the last from 56 yards with 8:05 left in the game to put the Owls on top to stay.

Much as they had when they rallied to defeat the Jayhawks 25-24 in Lawrence last year, the Owls had to rely on a four-quarter rally to gain the final advantage. In their two wins over Kansas, Rice has outscored the Jayhawks 19-0 in the final quarter, with Boswell and Ross being responsible for all of those points. Rice showed evidence of rust after waiting two weeks to play its second game. The Owls started smartly, gaining 37 yards on their first six plays, their initial drive bogged down thanks to a pair of penalties and it was left to the Owls defense to put the first points on the home scoreboard in 2013. Senior linebacker Michael Kutzler, making his second career start, deflected a Jake Heaps pass to himself and then sprinted 52-yards up the east sideline to give the Owls a 7-0 lead. It was a strong start for the Rice defenders who had closed the 2012 season by holding three of their last five opponents to less than 20 points. They limited the Jayhawks to 270 yards of total offense, with 106 of them coming on two plays that created all of KU’s points. The first of those big plays allowed Kansas to tie the game as Heaps hit Tony Pierson for a 77-yard touchdown with 9:20 to go in the second quarter. The Owls responded with an eight-play drive that was sparked by a 54-yard completion from Taylor McHargue to Dennis Parks. The drive stalled at the Kansas 23 and Boswell came in to nail a 40-yarder to put Rice back up 10-7. The Owls extended the lead on a 28-yard Boswell field goal just before the half ended. The scoring drive began when Bryce Callahan picked off Heaps for his ninth career interception and his third in two games against Kansas. McHargue and Jordan Taylor connected three times for 46 yards to move the ball deep in KU territory. The teams traded punts for most of the third quarter, but a McHargue interception late in the quarter set the Jayhawks up at the Rice 16 and four plays later Heaps snuck in from the one to put KU back on top 14-13. Kanas opened the fourth quarter by picking off McHargue at its own six. But the Owls forced a punt which Derek Brown partially blocked to set Rice up at midfield. The Owls only moved to the Kansas 39, but that was plenty of room for Boswell, who crushed a 56-yard field goal to put Rice back in front. It was his 12th career field goal from 50 yards or more, his third of the game and the seventh in two games vs. Kansas.

Sept. 21, 2013 • Houston, Texas • Reliant Stadium

In the last currently scheduled battle for the Bayou Bucket, the Rice Owls saw a furious fourth-quarter rally fall achingly short as Houston retained possession of the trophy with a 31-26 win at Reliant Stadium. The win was the Cougars’ third-straight in the series, which began in 1971 and has been played continuously since 1999. With the two schools now in different conferences, there are no future games currently scheduled between the two. Houston leads the all-time series 29-11, including a 27-10 record when playing for the Bucket.

The finale of the current series seemed to be decided when the Cougars extended their lead to 31-13 at the start of the fourth quarter, but Rice answered with their first points since the first stanza to cut the margin to 31-20. Bryce Callahan then forced a Houston punt by breaking up a third down pass, and Rice drove deep enough into Cougar territory for senior Chris Boswell to try a 50-yard field goal. However his attempt drifted wide right. Houston then moved to the Rice 23 and looked to ice the game with a 40-yard field by Tony Leone. But Christian Covington bulled his way through the line to block the kick and linebacker Alex Lyons scooped it up and returned it 62 yards for a touchdown with 2:19 left in the game. Rice was foiled on the two-point conversion try, but Boswell executed an onside kick to give the Owls the ball back at the Rice 47 and a final chance to add another dramatic ending to the storied series. Rice moved to the Houston 36, but Taylor McHargue’s fourth-down pass to Dennis Parks was tipped away, assuring the Cougars they would retain possession of the Bucket. The Owls took the opening kickoff, but stalled at their 23. However Houston roughed punter James Farrimond to give the Owls opening drive new life and the took full advantage. After Charles Ross ran for five yards on first down, Luke Turner hit Turner Petersen with a 57-yard touchdown pass out of the Owl formation. It was Turner’s second career touchdown pass and was the longest reception in Petersen’s career. Chris Boswell’s PAT was blocked and Rice led 6-0. That lead proved short-lived as Houston drove 75 yards in just four plays to take a 7-6 lead, but the Owls responded in kind, driving 75 yards in nine plays, with Charles Ross covering the final yard to put Rice back in front 13-7. Houston answered with 10 points late in the half to take a 17-13 lead into the locker room. Leone nailed 24-yard field goal to cut the lead to 13-10, the freshman quarterback John O’Korn hit Daniel Spencer with a 25-yard touchdown pass with five seconds left to give the Cougars the lead for good. Houston took control of the game with 14 unanswered points while the Rice offense was stymied and forced to punt on four straight possessions in the third quarter.

With their backs to the wall and their offensive teammates struggling to find consisten footing, the Rice defense rose up to produce a pair of touchdowns in the last four minutes and give the homestanding Owls an 18-14 win over Florida Atlantic at Rice Stadium. Cody Bauer scooped up a fumble by FAU quarterback Greg Hankerson and returned it seven yards for a score, the third consecutive game in which the Rice defense has put points on the board. On FAU’s first play after the touchdown, Bryce Callahan picked off Hankerson and two plays later, Darik Dillard barged in from 20 yards out to put Rice ahead to stay.

The win evened Rice’s season mark at 2-2 and snapped a four-game losing streak in C-USA openers. FAU fell to 1-4, including an 0-3 mark in its initial season in Conference USA. For nearly 55 minutes, the FAU Owls held the Rice Owls out of the end zone and fashioned a 14-6 advantage thanks to a pair of big plays. Greg Hankerson hit William Dukes for 58-yard touchdown pass in which Dukes lost control of the ball but recovered to complete the score and give FAU a 7-3 lead. Midway through the fourth quarter, Jonathan Wallace broke up the middle for a 54-yard run and two plays later, Hankerson his Nexon Dorvilus for a 15-yard score. To that point, the Rice offense had produced a pair of Chris Boswell field goals and had been continuously stymied by poor field position. In its first 11 possessions, the Owls average starting position was their own 19 yard line. The combination of a 48-yard punt by James Farrimond and a penalty on the return pinned FAU at its own 16 with 5:08 left. After a pair of runs by Wallace gained one yard, Hankerson rolled to his right. James Radcliffe charged forward to meet him and Hankerson lost control of the football. Bauer scooped up the loose ball and rolled into the end zone. Callahan’s pick was the 10th of his career to move him into a tie for sixth on the Rice career list with Jason Hebert and was part of a stellar night for the junior cornerback. He led the team with seven tackles, including one for a loss of a yard, and broke up two other passes. Dillard’s touchdown was the first of his career and capped a 62-yard rushing night. Taylor McHargue led the Owls with 71 yards rushing while throwing for 69.

Rice University football built a large first half lead and remained perfect in Conference USA play with a 27-21 win at UTSA on Saturday at the Alamodome. The Owls are 3-0 in league play for the first time since joining the conference in 2005. Senior running back Charles Ross returned to action for the first time since sustaining an injust on Sept. 21 and led Rice with 59 yards on 11 carries, including a 34-yarder.

Quarterback Taylor McHargue added 41 yards on 10 carries and passed for 183 yards and a score as well in the win. His favorite target was Jordan Taylor, who caught four passes for 61 yards in the win. Rice moved the ball well on three of its first four drives, but came away with just six points on a pair of Chris Boswell field goals in the opening 20-plus minutes of action. The Owls (4-2, 3-0 C-USA) then responded to a UTSA (2-5, 1-2) touchdown by reaching the end zone on its final two possessions of the half to take a 20-7 lead into halftime. Darik Dillard carried the ball in from four yards out for his third score in as many games and then Dennis Parks hauled in a 37-yard strike from McHargue in the final minute of the half. Coming out of the break, Rice extended its lead to 27-7 on a McHargue six-yard run. From there, UTSA found its footing and began to rally. Quarterback Eric Soza scored himself from a yard out twice in the fourth quarter. His second touchdown run pulled the home team within 27-21 with 1:24 remaining in regulation, but Taylor recovered the ensuing onside kick attempt and the Owls ran out the clock from there. James Radcliffe led Rice with 10 tackles, while Michael Kutzler and Julius White added eight each. The Owl defense made eight tackles behind the line of scrimmage, led by 1.5 by Stuart Mouchantaf. The win keeps Rice in a tie for first place in the C-USA West with Tulane. It was the team’s seventh-straight conference win and fourth C-USA road win in a row. The 4-2 record marks the best start to a season since 2001.

2013 SEASON RECAPS - GAME 8 UTEP Miners Rice Owls

Oct. 26, 2013 • Houston, Texas • Rice Stadium

7 SCORING SUMMARY 1 2 3 4 F 45 UTEP Miners 0 7 0 0 - 7

Jordan Taylor piled up the third-most receiving yards in school history, while Taylor McHargue threw for four scores and Charles Ross rambled for 152 yards as Rice packaged its most complete game of the season to reach bowl eligibility in consecutive seasons for the second time in school history with a 45-7 win over UTEP at Rice Stadium. The win was the Owls’ fifth-straight this year, their eighth-straight in C-USA and their 11 in the last 13 games dating back to last year. With their sixth win, the Owls will earn a bowl berth for the second consecutive year, matching the 1960 and 1961 teams as the only Rice teams to do so. It was also the Owls’ largest margin of victory in nine seasons of Conference USA play and allowed them to keep pace with Tulane as C-USA’s two remaining unbeaten teams in conference action. Rice was staked to a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter thanks to the powerful running of Charles Ross, who topped 100 yards early in the second stanza on his way to 153 for the game and the first of three long connections between McHargue and Taylor. Their 60-yard effort put the Owls up 10-0 but UTEP found its footing on the next series as Blaire Sullivan hit Ian Hamilton with a 50-yard scoring pass. This is the third time Bailiff has led the Owls to bowl eligibility in his seven seasons and ironically each of his three teams reached the threshold with a defeat of the Miners and Saturday’s encounter seemed early to be on pace for another in a long series of wild offensive shootouts until a lastgasp dive by Julius White foiled an apparent long scoring run by UTEP. With Rice holding a 17-7 lead with just over five minutes left in the half, UTEP’s Aaron Jones bounced outside on a running play and set sail for the Owls end zone. White was the man to have a shot and he tripped up Jones with his dive at the Rice three. After one carry for no gain, Jones again attack the line of scrimmage, only to have Michael Kutzler loosen the ball from his grip, Paul Porras deliver a blow to knock the ball free and Ross Winship fall on the loose ball to end the Miner’s last serious scoring threat. After fending off the UTEP strike deep at the end of the first half, the Rice defense held the Miners scoreless in the second. After being quiet for most of the third quarter, McHargue and Taylor gave the crowd a jolt late in the quarter when they connected for 72 yards and a score, then added a third connection from 23 yards early in the fourth. Taylor finished the day with 185 yards and three touchdowns on just four receptions. This yardage total was the third highest in school history, topped only by James Casey’s 208 and David Houser’s 196. McHargue threw for 259 yards on just eight completions, including a career-high four for touchdowns. Ross became the eighth Owl in history to rush for 2,000 career yards early in the game and moved all the way to sixth on the career list, finishing the night with 2,088.

2013 SEASON RECAPS - GAME 9 Rice Owls North Texas Mean Green


Oct. 31, 2013 • Denton, Texas • Apogee Stadium

Despite out-gaining North Texas by 102 yards on offense, Rice University football saw its five-game winning streak snapped in a 28-16 setback at Apogee Stadium. The Owls (6-3, 4-1) brought an eight-game Conference USA winning streak into the contest and looked to remain perfect in league action in 2013, but four big scoring plays and one monster goal-line stand by the Mean Green (6-3, 4-1) proved to be the difference.

Taylor McHargue connected for a pair of touchdown tosses in the first half, including a 21-yard strike with Turner Petersen and then the senior found Jordan Taylor behind coverage for a 32-yard score to put the Owls ahead 16-7. The tosses gave McHargue 38 touchdown passes in his career, moving him past Tommy Kramer and into a tie with Randy Hertel for the second-most in program history. McHargue completed 18-of-28 passes for 222 yards and the pair of scores on the night. Taylor led the receiving corps with 71 yards on five catches. Donte Moore set a season high with 52 yards on five receptions. Big returns marked the first half for North Texas, as the Mean Green returned a fumble 55 yards for a score and brought back a 65-yard punt return. In between, NT notched its lone offensive score of the half on a 42-yard rush as the home team staked a 21-16 lead at the intermission. NT would score once more on a 46-yard pass in the third quarter to seal the win and bowl eligibility. The Owls were shut out in the second half for the second time in 2013.

Charles Ross ran for five scores to tie the Conference USA record, and became the seventh Owl to rush for 1,000 yards in a season with a career-best 215 to lead the Rice Owls to an emotional 52-14 Homecoming victory over Louisiana Tech at Rice Stadium. Rice rebounded from a loss at North Texas on Halloween Night in dominating fashion, setting season highs for both rushing yards (415) and total offense (582). The win moved Rice back into a tie with North Texas in the C-USA West race with the just two weeks remaining in the season, but more importantly, it allowed the Owls to honor their head coach in the best way they knew how.

They hit the field for the first time in November with heavy hearts, as their week of preparation was tempered with the knowledge that Bailiff’s father, Bob, who has been a fixture at Rice games over the past seven seasons, had passed away on Tuesday night. Having taken full advantage of the two week break to mend many of the bumps and bruises that had accumulated through the first nine games, they responded with a defining effort in front of 19,707 fans. Ironically, on a night that would see them dominate on the ground, the Owls took to the air on their opening series to take an early lead. Taylor McHargue three on three of the four plays it took the Owls to march 66 yards, the final 41 coming on a spectacular catch and run by Dennis Parks, who slipped out of the grasp of several Bulldog defenders. Louisiana Tech seemed poised to quickly answer, driving 70 yards in seven plays to the Rice five, but Cody Bauer broke through the line to down Bulldog quarterback Paul Harris for an eight yard loss while stripping the ball away. Christian Covington scooped up the loose ball to end the threat. Rice then turned to Ross to shoulder the load, and the senior from Schertz responded. After gaining four on his first carry, the blasted free on a 48-yard run to move the ball to midfield. Later in the drive, McHargue lost control of the ball at the La Tech 18 and the Bulldogs’ Daniel Cobb picked up and began to move up field. But Donte Moore stripped the ball loose and Nate Richards recovered. Seven plays later, Ross barged in from two yards out to make it 14-0. The Rice defense stiffened after La Tech’s opening offensive incursion, allowing the Bulldogs only 83 yards the remainder of the first half, while the Rice offense added 10 more points on a 30-yard Chris Boswell field goal and five-yard scoring jaunt by Ross. The 24-0 lead at halftime marked the first time the Owls had held an opponent scoreless in the first half since they led Tulane 10-0 in 2011. Bauer made certain that Tech would not grab any momentum when the Bulldogs received the second half kickoff. The senior from Pottsboro stopped Tevin King for a combined loss of seven yards on the first two plays and then for a gain of five on third down to force a punt. Rice then marched 75 yards in 14 plays to extend its lead to 31-0.

Luke Turner ran virtually untouched from one yard out to give Rice University football a 37-34 overtime win at UAB at Legion Field. The Owls piled up 328 yards on the ground but needed one extra drive to earn the team’s eighth win of the season against the Blazers.

Freshman Jowan Davis took over with the bulk of the carries in the second half and overtime and piled up a season-high 130 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

Rice chose to play defense first in overtime after winning the coin toss. The Owls’ defense then sacked UAB’s Jonathan Perry on first and third down, setting up the Blazers’ go-ahead 43-yard field goal. The Owls then took over and moved the ball quickly. Taylor McHargue completed a seven-yard pass to Connor Cella on the first play, then Davis pushed the pile 17 yards down to the 1-yard line. Following a penalty, Turner kept the ball on an option run into the end zone to send the Owls home with a win. The Owls (8-3, 6-1 C-USA) opened the game with a score as Chris Boswell put Rice on the board with a 47-yard field goal on the opening drive. Rice tacked onto its lead late in the first quarter after stopping the Blazers on fourth and short near midfield. Ross punctuated the 48-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown run. UAB (2-9, 1-6) took advantage of a miscue in the second quarter, returning a fumble to the one-yard line before punching it in on the next play to pull within 10-7. Rice regained a double-figure cushion late in the half when McHargue took the Owls into the red zone on a 44-yard run and then found Jordan Taylor open for a 12-yard reception to give Rice a 17-7 lead at the break. UAB mounted its first real threat of the game early in the third quarter when the Blazers pulled within three on its opening possession of the second half and then took their first lead of the game later in the quarter, 21-17. Rice responded to take a 24-21 lead as Jeremy Eddington caught his first two passes of the season, including an 18-yard scoring pass, the first of his career. Davis then gave Rice a 10-point cushion as he rushed 54 yards on a 70-yard drive, including a two-yard touchdown run. That score put the Owls ahead, 31-21, with 7:20 to play. UAB would not go quietly, scoring a touchdown with 3:37 left to pull within three points. The Blazers then forced and recovered a fumble in Rice territory on the following possession, setting the home team up for a tying 24-yard field goal to send the teams to an extra period.

They held the Green Wave without a first down until late in the third quarter and to just 26 yards rushing on 21 carries without benefit of a sack. They held Tulane quarterback Nick Montana to 97 yards passing, completing just 14 of 31 throws and Tulane’s leading receiver, Ryan Grant, to just a pair of catches for 45 yards. On offense, they fashioned 17 points in the first half and then came up with some clutch plays late to deny Tulane threatening field position when the game was in the balance. For the first time all year, the Owls did not open the scoring. Taylor McHargue fumbled on Rice’s third possession and the Green Wave set up shop at the Rice 18. Three plays netted just five yards and they settled for a 30-yard field goal by Cairo Santos to take a 3-0 lead. The Owls used a turnover to grab the lead moments later. Bryce Callahan forced a fumble by Rob Kelley and Cody Bauer recovered at the Tulane 19 and on the following play, McHargue hit Turner Petersen for a 19-yard touchdown pass. It was Petersen’s fourth TD catch of the year, the most touchdown receptions by an Owl running back since Trevor Cobb had four in 1992. On the Owls’ next series, Jowan Davis dashed 16 yards for a touchdown to extend the lead to 14-3 and Chris Boswell added a 36-yard field goal just before halftime to send the Owls to the locker room up 17-3. Rice held a staggering 232-10 yardage advantage in the first half in addition to a 15-0 advantage in first downs, but in the second half, the Green Wave began to find their footing. After a Charles Ross’ fumble set Tulane up at the Rice 27, Montana needed just three plays to find Devon Breaux in the end zone to cut the lead to 17-10. Early in the fourth, Tulane put together its most impressive drive of the night, marching accumulating almost half its final yardage total in a 61-yard march that ended in a second Santos’ field goal.
