IRVING — Conference USA and FOX Sports announced Monday that UTSA's football game at Rice, scheduled for next Saturday, Nov. 8, will kick off at 11 a.m. and be televised on FOX Sports Networks (FOX Sports Southwest in the state of Texas). The third meeting between the two teams will be played at Rice Stadium in Houston.

The Owls (4-3, 2-1 C-USA) have won the previous two matchups. Rice downed the Roadrunners by a score of 34-14 in the inaugural meeting in the Bayou City back on Oct. 13, 2012, and it edged UTSA, 27-20, last Oct. 12 at the Alamodome.

The Roadrunners (2-6, 1-3 C-USA) are off this weekend.
