The USM WR and Owl DB were sprinting down the right sideline. The pass was just beyond the fingertips of our DB as he lept to try to tip it. Bummer. (And this action was just in front of what appeared to be (in the background of the TV view) a pod of Rice fans.)

Depressing. Almost got to their QB.

Really sloppy overall.

Got pressure on the QB but left a checkdown wide wide open.

16-8 USM. PAT pending

We better figure it out quick.... cause we are not going to score enough to keep up with them.

That latest TD was also a bit flukish. Good penetration by the DL - we almost get to the QB but we forgot to cover the RB who was back there blocking and a little dump off goes for a TD. We're still very much a work in progress on defense.

We also have to do a better job calling plays on offense.

Nice find on the outlet by the usm QB. They’re definitely more athletic than us 1 on 1.

More depressing is someone blew their assignment on the safety valve.

Again.... better figure it out. Love that we are playing better and all that, but wins are the measure we are using, right?

USM score after a QB scramble and outlet pass to an RB, who lumbers through the wide-open spaces into the end zone.

17-8, USM. 14:06 left in 2Q.

Nice return.

Rice STs continue to shine.

Walter weaves his KO return from the 6 to the 42! Yay!!

USM QB has 213 yards in 1 quarter

Have to get Cephus involved. 1 (semi) target in a quarter won't cut it.

OT: UT wins, 31-16.

Man, we are showing some old school formations on offense. Like Michigan 1975.

Haven't converted 3rd down in game yet.

Now we do! Esukpa!

Agreed. Our average starting position this year is 10 yards better than the last several years

I’d like that too but we need to be able to run the ball first. Our Oline isn’t getting any push.
