The first thing that comes to mind is they are 0 - 3, playing at home, and dangerous. If the team that showed up in Florida shows up in Houston, we could come home 2 - 2.

Rice:

  • The play a 4 man defensive line 4-2-5 Base Nickel Defense
  • Play 2 QB (the 2nd QB runs a spread option and rarely passes)
  • Played a decent half against Baylor Friday (defense played well)
  • They have at least 3 good running backs
  • Seem to lack speed at the receiver position
  • Like to use a lot of horizontal misdirection to create running lanes
  • QB's not very accurate down the field and can't drive the ball
  • They have an average pass rush from the front 7

 

UNT Keys

  1. Limit their run game
  2. Win on first down
  3. Force them to throw the ball down the Field
  4. Patience on offense (Fine should have time to throw)

Rice Campus Notes

  • Great G5 Stadium
  • Really Good Private School
  • Gorgeous campus with beautiful trees

 

I highly recommend it as an away game trip.  Definitely a winnable game and there will be plenty of good seats available.

An excellent place to watch a football game, especially in nice weather. The MOB... well, it's the MOB. Their student section is loud, proud, and heckle with the best.

And they've got a student-run pub on campus. When I was at Houston, the pub was in the basement of the chemistry building; it appears to have moved to the student center. We'd go on Wednesday nights, when you could bring your own pitcher-- any size, as long as it was shaped like a pitcher (boy, did our architecture students have fun with that)-- and they'd fill it with Shiner Bock for $2. http://willyspub.rice.edu/

 

This is a winnable game for us, depending on which UNT and Rice football teams show up.

UNT isn't scandalous, so the Rice band doesn't have anything to pick at like they did with Baylor this past weekend

they'll probably resort to the lame "be sure to tip your waiter well, she may have attended UNT" line again (implying that all NT students are music majors who can't get real jobs when they graduate). Never mind how few MOB members are actually Rice students - there's a lot of local Jr. High & High School kids to make up for the lack of students.

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      WKU and MTSU would make sense. Way more sense than Northern Illinois traveling to Hawaii to play a football game that would be watched by hundreds of people.

      Mean Green Travel to Tulane for Midweek Matchup

      DENTON, Texas – UNT women’s basketball (11-4, 3-0 AAC) will aim to extend its winning streak to five games against Tulane on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. CT inside Avron B. Fogelman Arena. It is the first trip to Tulane for a North Texas team since 2014, and the Mean Green will be looking for their first road win against the Green Wave. Last season’s 77-70 overtime win at home marked the program’s first ever win in the series in six meetings. Tommisha Lampkin’s 18-point, 15-rebound performance helped UNT overcome a double-digit deficit late in the second half to tie the game at 67 and eventually outscore Tulane 10-3 in the overtime period. The Mean Green enter Wednesday’s contest on a four-game win streak that began on Dec. 21 in the nonconference finale against Chicago State and has spanned over the first three conference games. Memphis pushed North Texas to the brink of overtime its last time out on Jan. 4, but Ereauna Hardaway’s layup with two seconds left lifted the Mean Green to a 73-71 victory. Hardaway’s 18 points, seven rebounds and seven assists against the Tigers paired with a 13-points, six rebound performance against Tulsa on Jan. 1 earned her a spot on the conference’s weekly honorable mention list. Tommisha Lampkin and Aniyah Johnson also played key roles in the win over Memphis. Lampkin posted her eighth double double of the season with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Johnson finished with 14 points and 10 boards. It marked the first time UNT teammates have posted a double double in the same game since Lampkin and DesiRay Kernal did so on Feb. 27, 2024 in the 4OT win over East Carolina. Tulane has gotten off to a solid start in Ashley Langford’s first season as head coach. The Green Wave are 9-5 overall and 2-1 in American Athletic Conference play with road wins over FAU and Charlotte. They are led by Amira Mabry and Sherese Pittman who both average north of 12 points and six rebounds per game. Wednesday’s game will be streamed on ESPN+ and can be heard on the Varsity Network App with Zac Babb on the call. WHAT 2 WATCH 4 • UNT will look to move to 4-0 in AAC play when it travels to Tulane on Wednesday. • Ereauna Hardaway was named to the AAC Honor Roll following her performances against Tulsa and Memphis. • North Texas ended nonconference play with an 8-4 record following a split at the Evan Moore Classic. • The Mean Green are closing in on the pro­gram's 600th career win, currently sitting at 596 entering Saturday. STUFFING THE STAT SHEET • In UNT's win over Wichita State, Desiree Wooten did something that no other Mean Green player since at least 2001 has done. • The sophomore guard stuffed the statsheet finishing with 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals. • There have only been two other players in the nation this season to post a stat line on par with Wooten's performance against the Shockers. In addition, Wooten joins a group of four other players with those numbers in a game in the history of the American Conference (Breanna Stewart, Danae McNeal, Napheesa Collier and Alicia Froling). A WIN WOULD... • Improve UNT to 12-4 on the year • Mark UNT's third straight win on the road in conference play • Be the 597th win in program history • Improve UNT to 4-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2020-21 season

      Rule Changes to NCAA Football

      I watch more NFL than is healthy and it's really not a common review. In today's college game, you're still reviewing if a player was down. The situation where a player went down without giving himself up and wasn't touched are pretty slim. The question is usually just was the player touched and/or was the player actually down (already happens in college). In the NFL, a player doesn't have to be touched *while* on the ground if the contact resulted in the player going down so that's rarely a question. The most common reviews relating to that is when a player is rolled over another player's body and then keeps running without going down which is already reviewed in college or when a player recovers a turnover, goes down in the process, but it's questionable if he was touched which is rare. I'd welcome the change. It would help the defense really turn the tide with a big play.
