RE: ODU vs Rice
Time to go 1-0 vs. Rice. Anybody else notice that the Owls put up 34 points on Southern Mississippi? We cannot take this team lightly and be caught looking ahead to Empty Sue.

Rice was the first CUSA team we ever beat.

Maybe he's referencing the old "need to make sure we go 1-0 this week" kinda motivational line.

RE: ODU vs Rice
I think it should be an easy win for the boys just so long as they come out and treat them like a top tier team rather than overlooking them and writing them off as a win like they did with Charlotte. Williams has progressed nearly every game along with the WR and OLine groups (minus Charlotte). Defense has to come up with stops and offense needs to finish drives. My guess is ODU38 Rice 14. Think they are hungry for another bowl and they know that their backs are against the wall on these last two games.

Let's assume we have an epic final 2 games and get to 6-6. How many bowls does CUSA have to send someone? Looks like we got quite a few 6 or 7+ win teams.

There are 40 bowl games which means 80 teams. My conservative calculation of 6 win teams from the other leagues is 70. So, I think there would be room for 10 CUSA teams.

Correction. There are only 39 FBS bowl games. The other one, Air Force Reserve Celebration bowl is for MEAC / SWAC teams. So, that means only 78 spots and leaves maybe 8 C-USA openings, which may cut it close. However, out of the 11 CUSA teams still in the running, there are a few other precarious teams. La Tech has to win the last 2 and they have UTEP (easy) and UTSA (tough). Western KY and MTSU each need another win but play each other next week. We should root for MTSU next week because WKU has to play Florida Atlantic the last game, which could knock them out. Also, it would be nice for MTSU to not have to win the last game against us. If that all happens and we beat MTSU then we should be ok with our 6 wins, but not totally guaranteed.

RE: ODU vs Rice
Well, that was a pleasant delivery on Saturday. I thought that we could win, but everything seems to be clicking at the right time of the season, although it is a little late, but not too late. Look for the guys to play hard -- last home game, senior day, and in front of their home crowd (which they should really appreciate after the empty stands that they played for on Saturday). Look for the team to come out gunning and not take anything for granted -- which they can't because it is an elimination game!!
ODU 35
Rice 21

RE: ODU vs Rice
Every time I've predicted a low scoring loss in a thread created by Gilesfan, ODU has won. So my prediction for Saturday's game:
ODU 5
Rice 7

Some way Some how we win this one without so much extra turnover help. Mabey it is the combination of senior day, oyster bowl or Norfolk Naval Station 100 year celebration but I think it all adds up to a win and then we take the show on the road.

Your make it sound like it'll take a perfect game to beat Rice. We should beat them because we're better than them. We opened as a 9.5 point favorite.
