Official Rice Game Score Prediction Thread

[MeanGreenTexan]

Well, the Mean Green and their fans have been kicked in the nuts pretty hard.   What will we do?  Roll around on the ground writhing in pain, or get up and get ready for another one?  
Hey, at least this game is at home!

UNT comes out angry and full of piss & vinegar... especially the defense.
Rice likely takes advantage of this and the corresponding overpursuit to build up an early lead.
Special teams makes some plays and the defense settles down for a 6-17 halftime deficit.

Rice makes some offensive adjustments while NT continues to spin their uptempo wheels offensively.  Defense starts getting gassed in the 4th.

Final Score:
UNT - 16
Rice - 31

[Mean Green 93-98]

Teams always make their greatest improvement between Week 1 and Week 2.  So we should be substantially improved.  So ...

UNT 13

Rice 31

[UNTcrazy727]

Rice- 34

Our defense keeps it close for the first half, but Rice pulls away with a couple big plays.

Rice  -  38

UNT  -  6

 

[oldguystudent]

Defense will do a decent job until they've been on the field for 43 of the first 45 minutes of the game.

Rice -- 38 at least 21 of which scored in the 4th quarter

UNT -- 6 on a couple field goals salvaged from special teams work

Me -- $X richer if I had a bookie

[Travis Scott]

ok, we know mcnulty will start, what do you think the score is if mcnulty plays the first half, but with a miracle smith starts the second half.

[MeanGreenDan]

52-9 Rice

[MGNation92]

42-10 Rice

If we score less than 10 by halftime I will be chanting for DaMarcus the rest of the game

[Withers940]

Can we start a thread to guess how many offensive yards we will get and what play we will run the most??

I am thinking 205 for Offensive yards and QB read were the Nutty Professor hands it off to RB everytime

[Matt from A700]

Rice 41

UNT 20

 

Please football gods let me be wrong in a good way

Better yet. Let's predict the QB Statline

(This is assuming we'll be playing catch up all game)

21/40 140 yds 1 TD and 2 INT's

[GOMG2013]

ST scores if they kick it.  Run game is stuffed, but Rice secondary lets harris score. Defense gets a TO and we get a FG out of it. We get an early FG with a drive...20pts

Rice gets one passing TD.  RB scores once.  Jackson scores twice in the second half.  2 field goals.

Rice 34 UNT 20

[akriesman]

Rice out-gained Texas by almost 200 yards.    Our "fast paced" offense will just give them more chances to score.   This is going to be a case where our offense causes the defense to look worse than it is.

Rice   48

UNT   20  (late garbage points)

 

[Coffee and TV]

UNT 34

Rice 27

 

 

[Matt from A700]

Better yet. Let's predict the QB Statline

(This is assuming we'll be playing catch up all game)

21/40 140 yds 1 TD and 2 INT's

If it's McNulty/Greer the whole game:

17/38 137 yds 0 TD 2 INT 1 lost fumble
