rice (intentionally left in lower case to signify the insignificance of that school) won the last meeting between the cross town rivals. With Case Keenum lost for the year, the quarterbacking duties fell on true freshman David Piland. Piland kept the Coogs in the game by throwing three touchdowns. His owl counterpart, Nick Fanuzzi, equaled his touchdown total.
The game boiled down to who made the least mistakes. Unfortunately that mistake was made by the Cougars. Piland fumbled the snap on a 4th and 1 and the owls recovered. Houston lost the game 34-31.
2008 signified the most significant meeting standing and championship wise for the two schools. The winner mostly likely would end up in the C-USA championship. rice prevailed in a shoot out 56-42 at rice stadium.
The game set up a 2009 revenge match for the Cougars. This time the Cougars did not mess around. Houston posted the largest margin of victory in the series. The Coogs pounded the owls 73-14.
Once again, 2011 sets up to be another revenge game for the Cougars. This time Case Keenum returns to the helm of the Cougar offense. Add in the new found brilliance of the defense and this game looks to be another massive beat down in the series.
Here's hoping the Cougars hang 80 or more on rice.
