About Rice Owls Football

The Rice Owls represent Rice University in the American Conference and have fielded a football team since 1912, joining the Southwest Conference as a charter member three years later. John Heisman, whose name is on college football's most famous trophy, coached in Houston from 1924 to 1927. Rice won seven SWC championships and beat Alabama in the 1954 Cotton Bowl Classic, a game remembered for Tommy Lewis coming off the Alabama bench to tackle Dickey Moegle on his way to a touchdown. Home games are played at Rice Stadium, which hosted Super Bowl VIII and John F. Kennedy's 1962 moon speech. Scott Abell enters his second season in 2026 after installing an option offense and reaching a bowl in year one.
