For nearly a minute the Rice Owls led the Texas Longhorns on the scoreboard Saturday evening, but eventually the world righted itself and the Horns scored 31 straight points. Other than two fumbles the offense was near perfect against the Owls and after a shaky start the defense was nearly as good. Texas dominated the final three quarters (particularly the second half) and the final score ended up Rice 10, Texas 52.
