Saturday 2:30p (Reliant Stadium) Tv: Fox Sports net ch 37 Houston Comcast Line: Coogs -5 Totals: 73.5 Stream: firstrowsports.com and justintv.com Rice 31 Coogs 44
If we can't win the first 3, why would we win this one? Rice wins, unless UH went through Navy SEAL training or something during this past bye week.
I think this will be a close game. The Defense for Rice is horrendous, the defense for UH is horrible. I think Rice may have a little more offense this year, but that's not saying much. The Rice QB looks pretty good. I'll go with Rice 45-37.
Rice isn't very good either. LaTech beat UH by 7 on the road, they beat Rice by 19 at home. UCLA beat Rice by 25 on the road, they beat UH by 31 at home. Going by common opponents, UH lost by a combined 38 points while Rice lost by a combined 44. In the Sagarin ratings, Rice is #106 and UH is #108. They both suck, it's a tossup.
This is like the Oilers-Pats game in '93 when Adams told the press he was going to fire Pardee (like he wanted to after the Buffalo loss) if he didn't win. Except that this team doesn't have 10-15 current or future Pro-Bowlers, everyone keeps their job and the Coogs could still lose the rest of their games.
Dang I have an exam during the game, so I'm going to miss it sigh. Coogs finally pick up their first win.
And they had a lead over us at the beginning and the rain caused Keenum to throw a pick. It went both ways though, they missed their kick. :grin:
Scoreboard Also, I hate when they have games in Reliant the day before a Texans game. Hopefully the field doesn't get too messed up.
Yes, the first thing I thought when I saw the Texans Logo at midfield was I hope the field doesn't get chewed up.
What's the purpose of having the game at Reliant? This isn't like the Red River Shootout or something.
