0-21. I suspect it’s going to get a lot worse.

So glad I didn't go. Hate to say it, but until Rice puts a reasonable product on the field, they have lost me.

RE: Western Kentucky at Rice
This team has quit on this coaching staff and can you blame them. The offensive line is terrible. I am just waiting they fire Bloomgren before I go to another game.

Question: Our head coach is an OL expert, how is it that our OL is not able to handle a twist stunt from a 3 man rush?
Because our o-linemen aren't the kind of o-linemen that can play without being coached by our coach who can't coach.
FIFY
Not sure if that passes grammatical muster but it gets the idea across

RE: Western Kentucky at Rice
'Toppers' apparent pick 6 comes back. DB stepped OB on his 3rd step after catching the ball.
1st completion gets them to the 7. The a fake-left/roll right short pass to RB who walks into the end zone. GRRR.
0-28 ... 6:19.
(Saltzman: "Three touchdowns in last 3 minutes and 53 seconds.")

RE: Western Kentucky at Rice
If this turns out to be another shutout, JK needs to save face and make a move, there would be no plausible reason to continue the madness.

Saltzman: Constantine 7 of first 8 passes, but then only 1 of his last 7 passes.

Western Kentucky at Rice
Looked like a coach trying to fight a player on the bench.

Washington's coach got suspended for slapping a laminated play card into his player's face mask. Maybe we can use that excuse.

RE: Western Kentucky at Rice
Great tackle-breaking 3rd & 1 touchdown run by Broussard nullified by offensive holding. Grrrr.
3rd & 9 at the WKU 20: 'Toppers run just 2! Constantine throws wheel-route pass to the goal line. It's short. Picked! GRRRR!!!
WKU takes over at its own 2.

WKU now well over 300 yards in total offense with more than a minute and a half to play.

No such luck. I will be surprised if they don't score 40+ on Saturday. The Hilltoppers could be the biggest threat to U.T.S.A.'s undefeated season, assuming that Western Kentucky wins the East.
Georgia could be the biggest threat to UTsA’s undefeated season,
Assuming Cincinnati and Georgia both lose two games over the next 4 weeks.
I don't think a "name" school will play UTSA in a bowl. All downside.

I don’t believe a school would decline a bowl invite to avoid playing UTSA.
