Rice vs UNT game thread

[outoftown]

I’m very proud to have the honorto start this very important game thread!  God bless you all!  Go Mean Green!

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Well... Rice is about to score so there's that. 🙄

[El Paso Eagle]

Starting out crappy

 

[El Paso Eagle]

Well shit

[Mean Green Fan4Life]

Not a good way to start out.  Let's go Mean Green!

[outoftown]

Really looking bad on that first drive defensively. Stands also look eerily empty. I assume a lot of people will still file in.

[El Paso Eagle]

The announcers spoke about them starting out this way last week against F Au. They then common and how the a coaches made adjustments and shut them

down after that period I sometime worry about our coaches making adjustments

[edcollopy]

Our corners look slow and the 15 yard cushion doesn’t help.  Linebackers aren’t going to have to cause a turnover or two.  

[p_phelps]

Our online just sucks.

[Mean Green Fan4Life]

It's one thing to struggle or look flat against LaTech or UAB.  It's another to struggle or look flat against the likes of UTEP and Rice.  Still a lot of time left.  Lets roll Mean Green!

[meangreenacct]

Not looking very inspired right now. Coaches need to light a fire under those A’s...

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Terrible

[outoftown]

Trying to launch the run. Nothing doing. Then no pass protection on third and long.

Coach Langston better be coaching for his job the rest of the way. This is pathetic. Rice has 9 sacks all season and 2 on our first drive. Pressure every pass play. unacceptable to 

[Mean Green Fan4Life]

I'm not liking the feel of this game.  While Rice is not considered a "big" opponent.  I certainly consider this a "big" game.  We need to play inspired and play well.  As of right now, that's not happening.   Homecoming games are a time to showcase your program and build your fan base.  Coming out flat against a 30 point underdog is not good for business.  Let's go Mean Green!

[outoftown]

Ok. Stopped them on third.
A drive that NT won.

[outoftown]

And theres the lead for NT!

68 yards Fine to Bussey

NT 10 Rice 7 2:09 left in Q1

[Udomann]

I almost forgot what it looked like when you had time to make a pass...

How dangerous we really could have been with a good oline

[outoftown]

Gosh... I am yelling at my tv snap it fast. They never have a sense of urgency on plays that might have been a ref decision in NTs favor.

That is in the same category as the bad almost never challenge thing. It is fully on the coaches.

This time they went lucky. Still unnecessary risk.

Kind of disappointing righ now...

[p_phelps]

I hate that play call on 3rd down. GET A 1st down! How many times does Seth say get the 1st first down and things tend to open up.

Plenty of people outside still.

Argg. Fumble by Wyche at midfield, picked up by Rice. NT still seems not to really be clicking on offense.
