Looks like we scripted the first series this week.

Stewart Sweep right for first down.

no huddle .. Ellerbee up the middle for a few.

Fake run, drop back pass ... floater to Steward. Caught. Holds on with hard hit. 1st down on UTEP 37.

Passing touch needed.

FG Owls but should have had 7.

whatever it was it worked for 3

Harrison hits a FG to make it 3-0 Rice. We actually looked competent.

Incredibly, First Row's video is synching with the radio broadcast. A good sign.

1st down long pass down right sideline ... pass too long.

Shifts and motion-left. handoff right to Ellerbee. Gains 10. 1st down!!

Jet sweep left to Walter ... down to the 15.

Pass to Wells ... open but ball was a little high and behind. Inc.

2nd & 10. Blitz!! Sack! Two defenders had a clear run at Glaesmann.

Glaesmann slips. Sack.

Fox FG is good!!

3-0, Rice ... 11:07 left in 1Q

Gametracker said it was Will Harrison with the FG, not Fox.

Multiple 3rd and longs and Owls defense can't get off the field.

Fox kickoff ... touchback.

Run up the middle stuffed for a 1-yard loss.
Run up the middle ... squeezes through tiny holes to the 33.
Run left tackle gets 3 ... 1st down.

1st & 10 at Miner 36: Run up middle gains 2.
2nd & 8: WR screen right ... gains little. DBs up fast. Yay!!
3rd & 8: snap bobbled ... QB still has time ... Pass complete to left. VERY well defended.

1st & 10 at Miner 48. Pass tipped at the line! INC.
2nd & 10: Motion left, handoff up the middle. Dumped for a loss. Rice D-Line having no trouble with the Miners' O-Line.

Finally a 3rd and long stop thanks to a drop.

UTEP finally has a third down inc.
punt into the EZ.
RICE BALL

1st & 10 at Rice 41: Run up the middle gains little.
2nd & 8: Hitch pass left, runs back to the middle for little gain.
3rd & 6: Pocket holds ... pass zipped over the middle. INC. Well covered (but should have been caught.)

Punt: Touchback. 4:06 left in 1Q.

A true clash of titans so far.

Looks like a good night there unless you guys are looking into the sun.

ESPN app has no gamecast, no play-by-play, no box score.

Sun just behind the west side of stadium. very pleasant.
The Sun Bowl is a great venue.

Rice, 1st & 10 at the 20:

Stewart threads though the middle for 9!
2nd & 1: Fly/Jet sweep left ... Montgomery zips to the 40!

1st down: Lots of motion. The shovel pass works!! Down to the Miner 47!
No huddle ... false start. Grrr.

1st & 15: Glaesmann runs left (planned play) for 7.
2nd & 8: Glaesmann back to pass ... cricket-bounce pass to the flat. Grrr.
3rd & 8: Quick pass right ... caught but DB defeats would-be blocker to make the immediate tackle.

Punt: ... Miner TO due to only 10 players on the field.

Any chance you guys went to the Chihahau game last night. Really nice ballpark we are looking forward to seeing.
