Rice returns home this weekend once again looking to end its long losing streak.

The Owls (1-8, 0-5 American) have dropped eight consecutive games since beating Houston Christian in their season opener. Three of those defeats have been at home, two by one-score margins.

Tulane (4-5, 2-3), meanwhile, is licking its wounds after being beat 60-10 by Tulsa in the Green Wave's homecoming game last week.

The teams' head-to-head series dates to 1916, with Rice leading 20-17-1. The Green Wave have won each of the past two years in conference games.
