You guys gashed us running up the middle last year. Rice earned a lot of respect from me that day. It was our first loss (5-1) and first game against an opponent we just couldn't handle. To add insult to injury, our QB Soza was out for half the game, and when he was in, receivers were dropping TD passes.

This year, I can still see Rice winning, but the "how" of it will be different. It won't come so easily because our line is much improved.

I don't necessarily see a close 1-pt game, but give me 27-20 Rice or 27-20 UTSA.
