Don't overlook Rice

[southsideguy]

The Rice game is important to us.  We need to beat them first before off to FAU.

Bowl game > CUSA Champ game > Rice...

if we lose someone like Fine, then the rest of the games are pointless

[Mad Hatter]

9 wins is big.  FAU and Bowl Team should both be tough games.  Let's take care of the most winnable.

Trap game.

They're no slouch, played plenty of opponents tough.

Agree. Focus on Rice, get a win, worry about the OTHER owls later. If we're not devouring owls this week, we'll be eating crow.

Need to come out fast against Rice, get up by three scores by halftime, that takes unnecessary pressure off the D

Don't overlook Rice.  That's usin' your noodle!

Also, don't overcook rice.

IMHO it's never a good thing when a team coasts into post-season play.  There are exceptions, but that always seems to be a recipe for post-season disaster.  Teams need to be hitting on all cylinders.  We are a young team and we still make a lot of mistakes on both sides of the ball.  The team has over-achieved this year and is not yet in a position to put it in neutral or overlook anyone.  Stay focused, stay hungry.  Play to win.  That is all.

We need the win.  Don’t let USM or UAB claim to be co-West Champions.  UAB plays UTEP next, so they’d likely end with matching conference records with us if we lose.  USM has a tougher challenge against Marshall. 

(Yes, I know this doesn’t impact us going to the CUSA Championship Game.)

so by default then, they wouldn't be co west champs, simply based on head to head.

I was speaking of “claims”*.

Hoping to see the big names out of the game by half time. Get a lot of reps for the 2's and 3's.

I don't know why so many think this.  If the conference record is the same, they would be co-champions.  Head to head is only important as a tiebreaker between co-champions to determine in this case who goes to the conference championship game.

Send Rice to Beijing...no fair Peking! :)

Didn't Middle Tennessee do that to us one year in the Sun Belt?

[Venson]

They definitely need to beat Rice. If nothing more than for recruiting purposes.
