Pushing PV around....

Clock started way too soon.

No replay on the 2pt on ESPN... Was he out? No one seemed to be arguing.

Agree with this. Set the stage... everyone is on their toes... don't assume we're kicking it. Not a 'crazy' play... just an aggressive one, which I have long supported

Must remember --- this is only PVAM we are playing.

Hope we don't have to show them all of the offense tonight.

I agree, but we seem to be treating it like the big boys at times have treated us

Esukpa!! Two nice runs down the right side.

2-point attempt looked like it was good ... but called otherwise. (Oddly, no video replay was shown.)

13 - 0, Rice

"A dream start" for Coach Bloomgren.

I'm not so sure about this. The more we show, the more they have to prepare for. The more they have to prepare for, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

Big hit by Silcox ... but his post-play jawing to the vanquished PV receiver is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Grrr.

Tightened-up defense forces a PV punt.

Abercrumbia really blew up that delayed handoff.

Tyner comes in for the last play of 1Q. He hands off to Esukpa for a couple.

TV commentator is amazed at Tyner's size. "He's as big as a lineman!"

Not perfect, but all in all, not a bad first quarter. I'll take 3 more just like it.

OO hope you’re not deflated.

Extra 5 yards on Asupa’s stats that way. 49 yards on 2 runs on the 44 yard drive

13-0 Rrrrrrrrice!

I don't let one play this way or that change me. Mainly I just like 13-0.

I must say, I was happy to see the Fox pass attempt. I have waited four years to see that.

Listening to the game... what hear is we are keeping it simple offensively and defensively we are playing physical. Nice trends

16-0!

Austin Walter finally gets a hole to run through ... and reads the downfield blocks masterfully down to the 13.

Fade to Harmon is well-covered ... and then Esukpa's stuffed. On 3rd & 12, from the 15, Tyner rolls right ... but throws the ball away. (No one is open downfield.)

33-yard FG GOOD!

16-0, Rice.

11:03 left in 2Q.

So far we didn't use our punter yet.

I thought the 2 point attempt was for show, more to let down the road opponents know we will do that.

16-0, in the most important details.

You can keep it simple on offense if you play solid defense.

Rice has gained 172 yards, PV 59 ... only 7 after their first series.
