The result: Rice 22, Charlotte 21 (Saturday in Charlotte)
The records: Rice is 2-8, 1-6 in Conference USA. Charlotte is 4-6, 3-3
The significance: Sometimes it’s just nice to walk off the field with more points than the other team. In the big picture, the win may not mean much. But coming back from a 21-0 deficit shows how the team did not quit in the game or the season. Charlotte is not chopped liver. They’ve beaten decent teams. Therefore, the Owls now have a prideful win to go along with beating FCS foe Prairie View A&M.
