The Cougars dominated the Rice Owls on both sides of the ball in a 38-3 victory Saturday night to bring Houston’s record to 2-0 to start their season.

Both Houston teams fought for the Bayou Bucket trophy, a staple for the cross-town rivalry for many years. The Cougars earned their 30th victory in the series since the trophy’s inception in 1971.

Above are some of our best images from Saturday night.
