Congrats to Trevor Moore!

Geez... We have to work on DBs catching... Hit in the helmet and can't catch it...

Why did Dave just say in the race for the HoD Bowl? He know something we don’t?

I took that comment to mean that last year's game, where we came from 17 points down to win, was the race to the HoD bowl.

Welp. Three quarters in and it's still just a two possession game with Rice driving. Was really hoping Fine wouldn't have to play 60 minutes.

I'm also watching the Michigan - Ohio St game and it appears the one of our former quarterbacks tranferred to Michigan and is starting at quarterback for them.  That's the best explanation I have for how bad their quarterback has played which is really,  really, really bad.  

It's only their outstanding defense that is keeping Michigan in the game. 

Houston. He actually transferred from Houston.

Man, I'd have really loved that too, and we definitely had our chances to do that.... but Rice's last two games they were within 10 of USM and lost to ODU by 3.... Mix in the fact that they apparently never lose on senior day, and i'm afraid we're back in dogfight mode, per usual. Just get the W and stay healthy.

Mean Green D holds on 4th down!

 

[badnewspears]

Big stop! Let's put this game away.

[Marty]

we need to put this team away. can't let Rice hang around.

[CaribbeanGreen]

Another huge stop by the D! A long drive and points here ends it. 

[meaniegreenie]

Of all teams, Rice should know better than to go for it down at our goal line!!!  Great stop D!

Houston Baptist?  That would make sense.  He's been horrendous. 

[SouthBendGreen]

I know the D has had two 4th down stops but if they play like this next week FAU might put up another 800 yds.  Rice is bashing in the run game and FAU has an explosive running attack.  And when back to pass there is nothing close to a rush.  Now you can argue that we are playing vanilla defense as to not show anything to FAU but still it's too easy for Rice on their last few possessions,  

Meanwhile on offense Fine is like Dak a few weeks ago when he drops back.  He has ZERO time.,

John O'Korn's Wikipedia page as of a few minutes ago. Position: trash

[golfingomez]

come on now... let's run the ball some more next time!

[golfingomez]

how does that guy get so open?

[badnewspears]

Seriously? We are going to let them make this a game?

[El Paso Eagle]

I hope we play better than this next week, or it could be a long day

[golfingomez]

another stop by the defense, here's to hoping we can sustain a drive now

No reason for this drama! Move the chains, chew some clock, put up at least 3 points...preferably 7. Do it NOW!

[NorthTexan95]

Am I the only bored by this second half?  Our offense hasn't done much and Rice's offense is horrible to watch. 

[Boca_Nasty_96]

Maybe we`re keeping our cards close to our chest this game ?

[golfingomez]

RUN THE BALL!!!

[SouthBendGreen]

Fine is going to get hurt.  Get him out of this game especially with Murray hurt!!!
