We're mostly covering this on the Parliament here.. http://csnbbs.com/thread-747598.html

35-3 Rice going to halftime.

Driphus Jackson is unbelievable. We haven't plaparicularly well, but we're wipinhem out. Noticable increase in energy by from cheerleaders, band, and dance team. Good student turnout

We'll trade arkansas for wagner with you.

We'll trade Bye for Wagner with you

Final 56-16. Good to get in a tuneup before facing Texas next week. Passing game was not clicking at all, but we didn't need it - the Wagner run D might as well have been Swiss cheese. Owls racked up 401 yards on the ground, and another 142 through the air.

For C-USA, my observations from game today from the Rice Parliament thread...



Takeaways.

Positive
Depth at RB (Walter and Dillard looked great)
Team was ready to play; not flat (hint: to all those who have been critical about preparedness in DB era; can't criticize that today. No $.05 St. repeat). Would have been easy to be flat given poor crowd, wait for kickoff, humidity, etc.
DJ looked good (except pick..see below). Good running and speed option decisions.
Up-Front control of line-of-scrimmage on both sides (recognizing Wagner is not Baylor or Texas though)
Fox/Frosh Kicker will be good
German. Don't know why risk a DJ injury that late in game. Get him in earlier.
Students running to their seats when Owls took field in warm-ups and then out to field for player run-thru
Like opening with 'cupcake' vs. a 'body bag' Hope to see more of that. Props to JK.
Watching Horns tonight, this Rice team has very real chance for a W next week. Signature win time.
Stewart will break one this year as punt returner.
Depth. Lots of young guys who got action today that will be important at season goes on.
Did not have to show much of playbook. Should be plenty of wrinkles/action off the plays shown today for over-aggressive D's.


Concerns
Davis ankle; hope he is ready to go next week.
DJ Int; rare poor decision.
Did not see TE's; Absent
Kickoff coverage looked suspect; No Boz means better have lanes. Talent won today but next week could get exposed.
Overly conservative on lightening call/start; understand need for safety but was over-the-top to make it a one hour vs. 30-min delay.
MOB looks smaller each year.
Still look vulnerable to get beat deep. Young DB's were lucky that our DL pressure got to the QB a few times. Next week, same situation could be six points.
