And then the sky hook shovel pass to Rozner for 2PT. 27-14 Rice.

TJ McMahon is a play maker at QB

plus the two-point conversion!

Way to go, owlies!

Lead back down to 6 (27-21)

Owls have looked good tonight.

Owls keeping the pedal to the floor. 33-21.

Very impressive. Looks like a win over what has been a top 25 program the past two seasons.

Rice 33, ULL 21 (2:59 4th)

ULL turnover on downs. AAC incoming Rice scalps the defending Sunbelt champs.

And that’s your final score. Rice as 12 point underdogs wins by 12.

And the New AAC is 4-0 against that “Times Square” conference today.

I knew if we could beat these guys we’d give Houston a good game.

After today, maybe Houston should be the one worried…

Quote:Rice X-Factor | Stay on schedule
Rice was faced with 16 third down attempts in each of their first two games. The Owls converted five of 16 against USC and then doubled their efficiency, converting 10 of 16 against McNeese State. It was no coincidence their point total exploded from 14 to 52 in that small two-game sample.
Scoring 50+ points a game isn’t sustainable, but for Rice, staying on schedule and controlling the football is part of the roadmap to get there. The Owls were able to generate explosive plays against McNeese State, but will be in for a tougher test against Louisiana. When those big plays are limited, they’ll need to find a way to move the chains.

An amazing 9/15 for Rice on third downs tonight. At one point late in the game it was 8/12.

I had a feeling it would all come together for Rice tonight against the Rajin Cajuns. Plus the bad karma certain to result from the Times Square thing.
