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.

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 recep- tions.
