Rice on the season is averaging 23.4 points while their defense is giving up 26.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 98th in the league while the defense is ranked 81st. Rice can’t fall behind early in this game. 

UConn Fell Just Short

UConn comes into this game with a 4-3 record overall but they were defeated in the last game against Wake Forest. UConn scored only 20 points and they ended up losing by three points. Nick Evers completed 26 of his 43 passes for 264 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Jasaiah Gathings had a strong game finishing with seven carries for 75 yards and a touchdown.

Rice vs UConn Prediction

UConn fell just short in the last game but they are going to bounce back in a big way in this game. UConn’s defense gave up only 20 points to Temple two games ago and they are going to struggle to get close to that number here.  Uconn is averaging 35.7 points and they will score at least 30 points here. Rice will have no answer, and UConn will come out on top here. Back UConn against the spread here.
