RE: Rice vs USM
USM timekeeper trying to help the Eagles run out the 1st-half clock. Officials not buying it ... reset it back twice!

RE: Rice vs USM
Should have let the clock run if the Owls are going to play bad special teams like that.

Absolutely the worst special teams I've seen in years.

RE: Rice vs USM
Rice coogin' it with that muffed punt. Will it bite them? USM QB replacement doesn't look great, but he's making completions.

Owls making 3rd string QB look good.

Ugly. But the score looks pretty. 2 down, 2 to go.

RE: Rice vs USM
It's inconceivable that a school with such a small margin of error in terms of talent would allow their special teams to be such an unmitigated disaster.

Without Trammel to receive the punt I would just let it go and run out the clock.

RE: Rice vs USM
Muffed punt ... and later a missed tackle ... only result in 3 USM points. Whew.
23-6 at the half ... and Owls receive the 2H kickoff!

RE: Rice vs USM
Predictable.
A major ST mistake gives USM a FG at the end of the first half.
Lucky it wasn’t a TD.
Crummy way to end a half where we actually looked pretty decent at times.

Lowe is 3 for 3 for 32 yards, 10.7 average. Limited data, but that is better than the USM starter Abraham.

It is, but he's not showing great pocket awareness. He's finding guys, which is a positive for USM, but he's struggling with his reads. I'll give him props for moving the team, but we'll see if it holds up in the second half.
Given that he's facing a Rice D, I wouldn't be surprised to see him live up to his recruiting profile (a P5 recruit initially, at WVU). But that USM OL is not helping him at all.

RE: Rice vs USM
Stats at the half a relatively even except for turnovers. Nice to see the Owls lead that category for a change.

So blitz him. Give him some more of that nickel and dime prevent D to work against and he’ll light up the scoreboard.

Good to see Trammel back out there. Nice return of the 2H KO.

Great field position to start the third. Go for the kill, Bloomgren.
