Rice’s one-dimensional ground game will make sustaining drives nearly impossible against Memphis’ disciplined front seven and its 130 rushing yards allowed per game.
The Owls' defense is their saving grace. They’ve allowed 217 passing yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry, which is why they’ve held five opponents under 28 points this season.
Expect Rice to get enough stops and force Memphis into long, clock-winding drives, keeping the Tigers from a major rout, and for this game to end Under the total.
