Will Rice get to play their 4th game of the season this year? That is a good question as it will be one that the Owls are going to find difficult to answer with a lot of postponements on the year. Rice is coming to the game here with a  1-2 record overall, but in their last game the Rice team ended up losing 27-17 to North Texas

Scoring on the year for Rice has been done to the tune of 27 points a game. The passing offense has gained a total of 267 yards per game in the air and 137 yards a game on the ground. The defense for Rice has allowed only 24.3 points a game. The defense has given up 207 yards a game in the air and 162 yards a game on the ground.

The Marshall Thundering Herd are coming into the game here after picking up a 42-14 win over Middle Tennessee in their last game on the field. The Thundering Herd with the win ended up moving up a 7-0 record on the year so far and looked very impressive in the wins they have made with most of them being blowouts.

The Rice offense has been okay on the year, but the Thundering Herd have a defense that is very difficult to beat and that will continue in this game here. Look for Marshall to play good in the game and their defense will keep Rice from finding the end zone in the game, but also their offense for Marshall is able to do decent against a questionable Rice defense. Final Score Prediction, Marshall Thundering Herd win and cover ATS 41-3.
