USC vs. Rice Live updates Score, results, highlights, for Saturday's NCAA Football game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the USC vs. Rice football game
The USC Trojans and the Rice Owls will face off at 6 p.m. ET Sept. 3 at United Airlines Field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to kick off their 2022 seasons. Last year was nothing to brag about for USC (4-8), so the squad is looking forward to a new start. Rice struggled last year, too, ending up 4-8.
A couple last-season defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Trojans ranked 22nd worst in the nation with respect to rushing touchdowns allowed last season, where the team gave up 28 (bottom 92%). The Owls experienced some struggles of their own as they were 18th worst when it came to touchdowns allowed last season, with the squad giving up 53 overall (bottom 93%). It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
USC is the favorite in this one, with an expected 34.5-point (!) margin of victory. It would take nothing short of a miracle for Rice to pull off a win, but maybe they can at least keep USC from covering the spread.
