A Hail Mary from your own 30 yard line?

As with the UConn game, we were running well early, and then just totally abandoned it...and, instead, kept going for the long ball. No short or intermediate passes (until that final drive). Just perplexing. A little more balance and you also limit the pass rush on Daniels.

As for our defense, the least said the better. Aside from Gabe Baker, our secondary is pathetic. They give a 10-15 yard cushion on every single pass play; even when the QB is pressured and forced to scramble around a bit. I also don't understand why when it's obvious that Tulsa best offense is their running QB (and this must have been apparent from the tapes), we don't have an LB shadowing their QB.

Even Gabe Baker isn't as good as he was 10 years ago... But he is starting a music career in Nashville so it's understandable!

21-10, Owls at the half

Refreshing, given the last umpteen years of complaining about our clock management.

Speaking of the clock…
We got only 11:25 time of possession while the home standing hurricanes boast of 18:35, pretty stout difference there.

Great play call to Bradley

TD Daniels!

We actually look good tonight on both sides of the ball.

I haven't seen a Rice offense move like this since Clement was playing. We're unstoppable

Tulsa secondary reminds me of Rice secondary in the Bailiff years. Can't stop anything.

Hey we’re even winning TOP now too
I think we had the ball 13 minutes in the 3Q!


A slut, a man, a plan, a canal. Panama, Tulsa!

We have over 100 rushing yards tonight.

Why isnt the backup QB in there getting game reps

It has been very enjoyable to watch on ESPN2 and a total surprise after the loss.

Congrats to the team for bouncing back.

Terrible QB play from Tulsa

Pretty solid performance. 35-10 Rice and we might score again shortly.

The next two games are our toughest of the year but this game proves we still have potential for a bowl game.

42-10 now.

42-10

Could be our largest margin of victory in a conference game since 2013 (we had several blowout wins that year but I guess 52-14 over La. tech on 11/16/13 would be the one to look at).

6-6 looks possible now, but we'll have to pull of an upset somewhere. Maybe FAU or UTSA are beatable on the road.
