Texas vs. Rice: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Saturday's NCAA Football game

Live scores, highlights and updates from the Texas vs. Rice football game

The Texas Longhorns will host the Rice Owls to start their respective 2023 campaigns. Kickoff is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. ET on September 2nd at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field.

Rice were ranked 130th in the nation in throwing interceptions last season, with 20 over the course of the season. Texas, on the other hand, had no problem: they finished last season ranked 21st with seven in total.

Rice will be fighting an uphill battle on Saturday as the experts have pegged them as the 35.5-point underdog. They finished last season with a 7-6 record against the spread.

That disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Rice considering the team was a sub-par 2-6 as the underdog last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 13 games they played last year would have netted $931.85. Texas will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 8-3 as such last season.
