FAU-Rice Homecoming Game Set for Saturday

Florida Atlantic hosts Rice in a conference football matchup after suffering a lopsided loss to Army, whose rushing attack piled up 479 yards. FAU coach Zach Kittley urged his team to move on quickly, while Rice arrives after consecutive double-digit losses and has struggled to sustain strong play on both offense and defense. The game offers Rice a chance to halt its slide, while FAU looks to stay in contention for bowl eligibility. Betting markets strongly favor FAU at home, with projections pointing to a sizable yardage advantage and a relatively low-scoring game.
