Rice Football: Owls add 2030, 2031 games with San Jose St

March 23, 2022 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football has announced the addition of two games with San Jose State to its future schedule, a home/away pairing set to begin in 2030.

For the second time in the past month, Rice football has made an adjustment to its future nonconference schedule. In early March, Rice swapped out a 2023 road game with BYU in favor of a home contest against UConn. Next Rice will add a two-game slate against San Jose State.

Rice will host San Jose State on Sept. 14, 2030 and travel to San Jose on Sept. 20, 2031. Former WAC conference foes, Rice and San Jose State haven’t met since 2004, a game the Spartans won 70-63, setting an NCAA record for most combined points in a regulation game at the time.

The 2031 game is the furthest out game Rice has scheduled to date. They also have a road contest at Northwestern scheduled in the same year, but it will be played two weeks before the Owls take on the Spartans.
