I had not paid much attention to Rice, just that they have a 0-7 record and should be one of the few "sure wins" for Southern Miss. I just looked over their schedule and realized they're not nearly as bad as their record indicates. Their only blowouts have been against Texas and a very good Wake Forest team. They only lost by 8 points to undefeated Baylor. And they lost to Louisiana Tech by 3 points in overtime.

Southern Miss needs this win badly, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a TTT moment.
