Matt Rhule Quote of the Week...

“We have some guys like Chris Miller that are playing really hard and you know my challenge to the rest of our defense is why is every person that watches our tape, why is every scout that comes through talking about how hard Chris Miller plays? Like, you play the same position as him, like they should be saying boy your safeties play really hard not boy Chris Miller plays really hard so trying to challenge our entire group to go out there and stand out on film by being physical so those are the areas and then just some little things on special teams, our kickoff return we’re just trying to bring that along and I like their approach to that.”


Baylor’s Key Players

Quarterback #12 Charlie Brewer

There is not a whole lot that needs to be said here other than he needs to keep up the momentum he has built in the early stages of this season.

Wide receiver #81 Tyquan Thornton and #21 Josh Fleeks

These two young and talented receivers were supposed to take a major step this season and they still have the chance to but it has not been a hot start up to this point.

Defensive lineman #98 Chidi Ogbonnaya

The 6-5, 290-pound lineman has not put up big numbers but watching him play you can see his improvement in a big way. He has gotten so much stronger and much more physical in his time at Baylor. 

Safety #15 Christian Morgan

He is back! Morgan has been dealing with a foot injury that occured right before fall camp but he is finally back on the field in a full time role.


Rice Key Players

Quarterback #14 Tom Stewart  — The Harvard graduate transfer was thrown into action after the starter Wiley Green was injured against Wake Forest.

Wide receiver #10 Austin Trammell — The star junior receiver was mentioned this week by Coach Matt Rhule in the press conference and he has earned that. 

Linebacker #55 Blaze Alldredge — The 6-2, 219-pound linebacker had the performance of his career last week against Texas. Alldredge finished with eight tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and a sack.

Defensive tackle #99 Myles Adams — The lone senior on the defensive side of the ball starting for Rice is Myles Adams. The 6-2, 285-pound defensive tackle has played in 30 games already in his career so he has by far the most experience on the defense.

You are not wrong
I saw some of this in the Sfa and UTSA games. Our line is about like they were last year. There is still time for them to improve but it's about to get real.

Okie Lite looks stronger than I expected. I'm backing down from 10-2 and seeing 8-4, maybe.

game is boring and we look like ***** just get the win and learn from it. All teams have a down week

The fact our line can't blow a bottom rung CUSA d line off the ball leaves me with great concern.

Rice looks like they're adopting the Stanford/Army bully boy approach. For them, I hope it works. If I were a Rice fan, i'd have just a scintilla of hope.

Please yank Charlie Brewer. This is pathetic.

The fact that the defense has given 2 drives of 13 plays and another of 14 to an 0-3 team gives me just as much concern.

Tell me i'm wrong, but I see the weakness on this team is offensive line play. Not enough push and too much pressure on Brewer.

It's been that way since game 1. This isn't a sudden manifestation--this forum has just been ignoring the glaring issue in its hype for this team.

I can't put this on Rhule. We simply are not executing.
You best remember me my friend

Rhule's the head coach. The buck stops there.

Roughing may be legit but that was shoulder to shoulder contact.

Did I hear one of their quarterbacks and running backs are from that perennial powerhouse Harvard?

This was a great game to put on CBSSN which only 13 people subscribe to. I don't have to watch this crap.

Come on people this process is all about saving our big time offense for Iowa State. We can't show all our high octane plays against Rice. But it would look better if we scored some more. Rhule must be close friends with Rice coach and wants Rice to look good for him. Still this is a boring game and Rice is starting to believe they can win. Awesome Process.
DanaDane

Awful effort all the way around.

Do you realize how drunk you would be if you took a shot every time the announcer said "Harvard"?

Are you talking about this pitiful showing by the Bears or that embarrassing get-up being worn by little Matty on the sideline.

Team doesn't wake up the may lose this game. They'll be 4-8 instead of 8-4 if they play like this in conference.

Whatever Matt Rhule's halftime speech was, he needs to thrown that thing in the trash.

If the offense doesn't do something we may be in trouble.
