Week 9 of college football is almost ready to kickoff and in this one we have the Southern Miss Golden Eagles traveling to Houston to play the 0-7 Rice Owls.
The Golden Eagles come into this one as deserved favorites, but is Rice really as bad as their 0-7 record suggests?
Southern Miss Golden Eagles
This Southern Miss team is coming off of a rough outing against Louisiana Tech last weekend where they lost by 15 points. The game should have been closer as the Golden Eagles fell apart in the 4 quarter and ended up turning the ball over 4 times.
QB Jack Abraham did throw for over 300 yards in that game, but he also accounted for every single one of the team’s turnovers with 4 crucial picks. Abraham has been awesome for the Golden Eagles outside of that game, however, and I am more inclined to believe that game was a bit of fluke and that he will be able to bounceback in this spot.
Abraham has 2263 yards passing with 13 TD’s and 8 interceptions and holds the 7th best QBR in the country. Look for the junior quarterback to hit wide-out Quez Watkins for plenty here as he leads the team in receiving yards with 630.

This defense on the other hand has not been all that good for most of the year and gave up over 450+ total yards last game against Louisiana Tech. Leading tackler Ky’el Hemby will need to rally the troops in this one and step up against a Rice Owls team they do not want to overlook.
Rice Owls
Yes, the Rice Owls are 0-7, but they have played some tough competition and have played a lot of those games tight with their opponents. The last game was the first game Rice should have won as they were 5.5 point favorites, but failed to step up to the occasion against a hungrier UTSA program.
That last game was fairly even most of they way, but the thing that really killed this Owl’s team were 4 crucial turnovers. UTSA only turned it over once and kept it a lot cleaner then their opponents that day and it can be argued that is why they won that game.

Rice was fairly successful with their running attack in that last one going for a touch under 150 yards total, and dominating time of possession. Aston Walter ran for 109 yards and a touchdown in that one and I would look for him to once again play a big role, as I expect this game to remain tight.

Free Week 9 NCAA Football Pick
I do not think the Rice Owls are as bad as their 0-7 record suggests, but I do not think they will have enough in the end to beat the Golden Eagles. The +10 on Rice at home seems really decent, though, and I definitely think they can keep it withing 10 especially if they get their running game going.
