We have to prove it Saturday and not just pound our chest like Tarzan and expect a double digit win.
Our defense, should, if they execute, stuff what little running game Rice tries to generate. We should get several turnovers from Rice's 1939 Poland air force like pass offense. Our secondary has improved, they just have to execute.
We should run all over Rice's less than stellar defense. Butler and Fields can do this if Line is unavailable or limited.
And our pass O should explode this Saturday. All this is should if we execute.
Our biggest issue has been specialty team play. And that could kill us against a lesser opponent. It would be the first time specialty teams cost us.
Prepare, practice hard and execute Saturday or face a very strong chance that Rice pulls an upset.
Should isn't will and that is what worries some of us.
he's not scared of Rice, he says we are 1-0 in our last one complete games against rice.
