We have reached week eight of the college football season and in this game it’s a showdown between two teams who have struggled.
The Rice Owls make the trip to the Alamodome to take on UTSA Roadrunners. The Roadrunners have won the last four games played between the two teams.
Rice Owls
Some people believed this would be the year that the Rice Owls might actually show some signs of improvements but that hasn’t been the case.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
They come into this game still looking for their first win of the season and they have struggled on both sides of the ball.
The defense is giving up 30 points per game and they haven’t found a way to score more than 21 points in any of them.
A couple of games ago they did find some success against Baylor and found a way to hold them to only 21 points. Since that point they have failed to build on it, and this is probably their best chance to come away with a win.
In this game if the defense can step up and slow down the Roadrunners they are going to have a great shot to win this one.
UTSA Roadrunners
On the other side of this matchup is the UTSA Roadrunners who do have two wins on the season but they are over UTEP and Incarnate Word, and neither of those teams are ones to write home about.

The Roadrunners are a run first team and they have some success on the ground, but when they fall behind they have a really hard time coming back in the game.
In this game they are also without their starting quarterback Frank Harris who is done for the season with an arm injury.
In comes Lowell Narcisse who has struggled throwing only 273 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He is only completing 42 percent of his passes.

This is a stay away game from because of how much they have struggled but I don’t know how you lay 4.5 points with a team that is 0-6.
