Rice: The Owls won their last 4 games to get to 6-6 and bowl eligible. Rice's 201.2 rushing yards per game ranks 29th nationally. Quarterback Taylor McHargue passed for 11 scores and rushed for another 11. The Owls may have only beat the Falcons once in 6 tries, but the Owls have more late season momentum than Air Force coming into Saturday's game.
Air Force: Air Force lost to both of their military academy rivals and 3 of their last 4 contests. However, a 6-6 record, including 5-3 in the Mountain West Conference, enables Air Force to go bowling for the sixth consecutive season. The Falcons are second nationally in rushing yards per game, averaging 328.8.
