What a stop! I think. Houston was having all the success in the world running towards the edges and they chose to run a draw. Confusing, but I'll take it.

Defense gets it done !

Houston shooting itself in the foot. Defensive PI on a 3rd down.

Refs miss an offsides on the next 1st down.

Got lucky there after the O suddenly goes conservative. Why do we keep feeding Broussard up the middle? It's no more than 2 yards every single time.

McMahon gets super fortunate. Had Esdale wide open in the middle, but pressure forced him into a wild throw. Big 3rd down.

Rice having a reliable kicking game is not something I expected. 27-24 Rice. Houston winning the battle in the trenches on the last few plays/drives.

A lot of things the last 7+ quarters I didn't expect.

Conti needs to make that tackle. Difference between 3rd down and 1st down. And now another broken tackle on the very next play for another Houston 1st down.

Defense has been awful outside of three or four plays. Close to a failing grade.

Geez, the number of runs of 10+ yards is killing us. Worst tackling game since the opener by far.

UH offensive penalties are keeping us in the game.

Houston is trying to hand Rice the game on a silver platter with all of these penalties and the Rice defense is respectfully declining.

Rice defense holds on 3rd and long after a slew of Houston penalties. Houston ties it up at 27.

Can we get a stop? Can we get some pressure on Tone for a change>

Houston now with 8 penalties for 90 yards. Thank you!

This is the dream scenario for Bloomgren. Tie game, five minutes and change left. Perfect chance to run the clock down and win it.

lol If we try to do that (i.e., run on first and second down) we'll hand UH the ball with 3:30 left and game still tied, and UH in good field position.

Wow. What a way to give the game away.

Bloom’s dream turns into a nightmare.

Offensive line beaten like a drum again. Nightmarish string of possessions for them. And it looks like it's going to cost us the game. Our tackles are egregiously slow out of their stance. Been an issue all game and has been an issue all season.
