I hope to see more zone reads and runs by Gilbert. That would certainly make Rice think a little bit.
Rice almost beat Tulsa @Tulsa and gave it away in the last minute or two. I will be surprised if we win down there but sure hope we squeak out a win. How are we favored by 3???

We have a much more capable offense now than 5 weeks ago. Our front 7 needs to have a whale of a game. Shut down Rice's running game and we really have a good chance of beating them.

Still sad that 5 years into the JJ regime, we have a "good chance" of beating Rice......

Isn't it important to win every game?

No, our only goal is to make a bowl.

Sadder still that we need this win because we all expect to lose at home against Tulsa in front of 5,000 fans to finish the year.

A bowl? no. It's only the Hawaii Bowl.

If we win this week I wouldn't EXPECT us to lose to Tulsa. We MIGHT lose but certainly think we would have a good shot. Look at SMU's CUSA home record over the last 3 years. Its pretty dominant. I would expect SMU to have a great chance to win. Need to understand value of home field and difficulty of winning on the road

We ARE 14-1 in CUSA games at home during last 3 years. But guess I am because I picked us at 7-5 before the season. If we beat Rice I think I'll show up for the Tulsa game especially if UCF beats Tulsa tomorrow morning

It is sad. We are3-1 against this team in the Jones era. And we still are sweating this game out. Oh, for the good old days of Bennett and Caven where we went 3-7 against the Owls.
Oh, Hades lets toss in Gregg and Rossley and make their contribution 0-8 against the Owls.
Yes, I hate it that we are only to a "good chance" of beating the Owls instead of "No chance".

3-1 against them, winning the last 3. However, 1-1 against them in Houston. We got blown out once, and the game we won we didn't exactly blow them out.
