3rd Quarter Report

A win for Sam Houston would push their record over .500, and after three quarters of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They are fully in control with a 34-14 lead over Rice.

If Sam Houston keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, Rice will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).

Preview

The Rice Owls will kick their season off against they on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET at Rice Stadium.

Rushing yards could be a deciding factor in this game, as both teams struggled in that department last year. Rice were ranked 115th in the nation, having averaged an unimpressive 112.6 per game. Sam Houston, meanwhile, were ranked 128th with 89.3 per game.

Looking back to last season, Rice wound up perfectly balanced, finishing 6-6. On the other hand, Sam Houston finished with a dismal 3-9 record.

Going forward, Rice is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 10.5 points. They finished last season with a stellar 8-3-1 record against the spread, so they might be worth a quick bet.
