Rice has done very well in the second half all season; so we need to get out ahead early and hang on in the second half again. Holding down the turnovers and the penalties will be very important this game and Grochowski will have continue the job he did against BSU.Originally posted by swburke:
Two pretty good offenses, two bad defenses - get your track shoes on.
Rice throws it a lot in a hurry-up - we had better win the turnover battle.

I'm still waiting for a dominant 4th Qtr. For once, we have one. Army 35 Rice 32
Rice has one absolutely huge offensive tackle, Gray, 6-8 345, but at an average of 307, their OL is only slightly bigger than Ball States at 303, and considerably smaller than Buffalo's at 319. They also have one very big DT, Covington, 6-1 300, but their 4-man DL averages 265, which is 7 pounds bigger than Wake Forest's 4 man line, and about the same average as most 3 man DLs including our own at 262. They use a 4-2-5; so they have a nickel back instead of a third LB, and their two LBs are a bit smaller than most at 220 and 225.Originally posted by pregirlsgrad:
Last week I listed the reasons I thought Ball State would win the game and I was delighted to be wrong - I am hoping that my reverse prediction will result in another Army win this week so I will say why I think Rice should win this one - Rice is apparently huge across the line and will have a big size advantage over us - Rice has played 2 top 15 teams and Army has played 1 - We were shut out at Stanford and Rice scored at least twice against both Notre Dame and Texas A&M - Rice has a good QB who is a very good passer and pass defense is always our Achilles heel - Army has now won 1 game in a row and Rice has won two games in a row - Army has not won back to back games since the 2010 season (I was at the big Duke win ) - I think Rice has won the last 2 games against us and I believe I read Rice has been to 2 bowl games in a row? In any event I think Rice should win this game something like Rice - 38 - Army - 31 but I am hoping that my prediction will be wrong two weeks in a row and help Army pull off the upset again!
