Rice at UAB

The UAB Blazers have fallen apart. They are a win against an FCS team, and a 3-point decision vs. Florida International away from being winless on the season. Their other eight games on the way to their 2-8 season show that the Blazers have allowed 52 points or more to five of them, and Rice certainly has the tools to make it a sixth. Rice is having a great season at 7-3. QB Taylor McHargue has done a great job, and RB Charles Ross is over 1000 yards for the season, scoring 11 times on the ground. The Owls have been favored by -14.5 or more in three of their last four games, and have won by a total of 102 points or 34 points per game. They certainly have a much lesser opponent in this one, and I will ride Rice to another blowout win vs. hapless UAB.
