Have we ever been undefeated in a season at Rice Stadium before?
We were 6-0 at home this year. You can't count the UH game as a home game because it was at Reliant.
I tried looking up a couple of the better Rice teams since 1950 and we didn't go undefeated at home in either 1953 or 1957. I suppose it happened in another year but I didn't look up any other years.
We also have a 9-game win streak at HRS currently, which may be another record.

I have no idea, but it is insane that Rice has won 15 of its last 18 football games! That should be a key line to help legitimize us heading into the Liberty Bowl!

I think we were undefeated at home in 1949 because the sole loss was with LSU and we usually traveled there in odd numbered years. That was the year before HRS was built.

2001 was the first one. At the time I found it hard to believe that it took until the 50th season in that stadium to finally pull it off.

It's why we have to play A&M and other big games at HRS. We have a good track record of rising to the occasion in big games.

We had been scheduling tough opponents. We were in the SWC. LSU would come here in even years.
