Rice at South Florida

Rice has a good balance on offense behind QB Chase Jenkins (9 TDs, 2 INTs) and RB Quinton Jackson (808 yards, 5.0 ypc). They've been tough on the road, beating Louisiana-Lafayette (14-12) as a double-digit underdog, along with covering at Navy in a 21-13 loss. South Florida comes home from a two-game trek. They're 2-2 in the last four games, including a 34-31 loss to Memphis and a 41-38 loss at Navy as favorites of three and nine points. Last year, these teams played a 35-28 game late in the season, and the underdog Owls are highly motivated at 5-6, with bowl eligibility on the line in this finale. Play Rice.
