Rice Owls at Texas Longhorns
Saturday, 2:30 p.m. CT, FOX
If Texas doesn’t play like the absolute juggernaut they are this season, I don’t know if they’ll ever live up to expectations. On the other hand, Rice hasn’t finished above .500 since 2014 and has a bottom-ten defense in the country. Putting them against the Longhorns’ receiving corps will be tough to watch. Sorry, Owl fans, but your school’s first game in the AAC is going to suck for you guys.
Final Score Prediction: 52-6, Texas
