Ok fellas, time to regroup. Most of last week's predictions will be tossed, so predict with confidence. Orlando will bring it. He doesn't have choice. 40 3
Which reminds me, this year is the 25th anniversary of the 1994 Debacle on the Bayou. When Rice beat Texas: Oct.16, 1994
Horns 51 Rice 10 The first SWC game I ever attended with my Dad, '69 at DKR. Couldn't stop laughing when a male cheerleader held up a megaphone and yelled 'What comes out of a Chinaman's butt?' To which the crowd roared 'Rice!!!' Dad made me promise not to say it to mom when we got home.
I was at that game. In the rain. Sitting next to an aggy friend from my office (we got free tickets from our boss). That's poop enough for a lifetime.
Texas --- 45 Rice ----- 17 I was going to predict Rice with 10, but have to predict they get 17 because of the loss of B.J. Foster . Really worried about losing him for the OSU game... That is gonna be a huge problem. But that is down the road.
Defense will tighten up this week to correct some of the shortcomings against LSU - and Rice is not the offensive threat that LSU was. Tom will call the dogs off in the 3rd quarter and Rice will get some points in mop-up time. Pretty confident with this one: Texas 66 Rice 17
You folks realize Rice held Army to 14 points only losing 14-7. The same Army that took #7 Michigan to 2 OTs before losing 24-21. Rice's defense is as good as Michigan's it seems. Michigan is not the old Michigan, but they aren't dog meat either.
54-14 The vaunted Rice defense keeps us out of the end zone, and Tom Herman, determined not to fail on 4th and short in this game, allows Dicker to kick 18 field goals, all of which he makes.
