J.T. Daniels had an enjoyable day on the gridiron this past weekend. He threw for 401 yards and three scores, leading Rice over Houston 43-41 in double overtime in the 42nd Bayou Bucket game.
Daniels finished 28-for-42 passing. He registered his second career 400-yard game. His only other came against Mississippi State in 2020 with the Georgia Bulldogs.
The victory for Rice snapped a seven-game win streak for Houston in the series. The last win for the Owls over Houston came on October 16, 2010, when they beat the Cougars 34-31. This is only the second time a game in the Bayou Bucket series has gone to overtime.
Up next for J.T. Daniels is Texas Southern. The Owls will try to improve to 2-1 after losing to Texas and beating Houston.
Keep an eye on Mr. Daniels, who could have a big year in the American Athletic Conference this season. Rice’s win gave the Owls a victory over a Big 12 opponent. It had to make Daniels feel great about his decision to transfer to Rice.
