RE: Marshall pre-game chatter
Marshall is a 20-point favorite. That's about five points higher than I expected, but until someone slows them down I guess it's not too unreasonable. I'm rooting for weather like last year to help even things out.

We have three common opponents (ODU, So Miss, FIU)

Average Score against three opponents
Marshall 51- opponent 15 (36 points)
Rice 39- opponent 27 (12 points)

Difference 24 points. Not a very scientific approach but can be partial explanation why the line is now up to 21.

I tend to think the game will be much closer than the spread. I'm not sure the score will be.

After reading the rule posted in another thread, this does not come as a surprise to me, and in fact I would've been surprised if they had forced him to sit out at all against Marshall. There was no basis for it in the rule, which was pretty clear IMO.

For Rice fans traveling to Huntington- the Annual Plane Crash Memorial Service and Fountain Ceremony is Friday TBA (usually at noon). Also, Coach D'Antoni's regular season debut is Friday night at 7 PM against Jacksonville St.

A gigapixel panoramic will be taken during the game on Saturday. You can register at this site for updates. If you attend you can tag yourself in the pic once it is published.- http://www.panoramas.com/images/pano/marupre.html

From today's Chronicle:

"The last time Rice beat a ranked team on the road was 1991 - 20-17 over eighth-ranked Baylor."

Wasn't Utah ranked like 16th in '96 when we beat them so badly in Houston?

RE: Marshall pre-game chatter
One point when thinking about Marshall/Rice is comparing match-up to Oregon vs. Stanford last year.

Nobody gave Stanford a shot b/c of Oregon gaudy stats/blow-outs. Margin of victory almost 4 TD's for one team and less than 1 TD for the other. All thought blow-out.

Oregon margin of victory prior four Pac-12 games before playing Stanford game 51-26
Stanford prior four Pac-12 games before playing Oregon 25-21 (includes a L to Utah)

I think similar dynamic here. I think our running game, offensive diversity, and run D gives slows them down like they have not seen yet. If we can a) improve our deep ball skills/containment of Cato for play extension (which we did not do at Notre Dame but did do in C-USA game) and b) either make a play on ST or not give one up (both of which we did in C-USA game last year too) than we have a shot for W.

If we can't, we will get beat but really hard to see a 3TD woodshed game like Vegas is thinking. Marshall line has Rice as bigger underdogs than both Notre Dame and A&M line (albeit by a couple points). One of those teams just beat the #3 team in country and other was one bad offensive interference call from beating the #2 team in country (#1 at the time). Marshall is a good team but not in the zip code of that level of play.

We beat unbeaten (5-0?) and IIRC, ranked, New Mexico on the road in 1997 (I get the year of this game and Utah mixed up, they were different, but both 7-4 years).

At the time, it was played before the largest gathering of any kind in the state of New Mexico.

New Mexico was 6-0 going into the game, but unranked (at least by AP). Rice was coming off a 27-14 victory over #21 BYU the prior week.

Alternatively, we went to BYU for a big late season game in front of a wild, hostile crowd in '96 and laid a giant egg - so you never know. We're about due to play a complete game, though.

Rice then went to SMU and lost 24-6 the following week. What a letdown that was.
