'06 Rice - Troy bowl
week
Page Three -- Owls started on wrong foot
Things started to go wrong right from the opening kickoff
-- here, somebody missed a block and return man Mike Falco never got a chance to set up
behind his wall

First play from scrimmage, and Joel and Q get in a little
mixup over the read...

....which gives TSU defenders ample time to get into the backfield and cause
mischief

Third down, and the Owls are running an option play -- only there's no
options...

....Joel gets the pitch to q, but he's back at the 10
yard line with a defender drawing a bead on him

Trailing 7-0, and after Joel Armstrong pass was picked
off and returned 19 yards to Owl 6-inch line (too painful to shoot), Owls hold fast on
first and second downs, but on third....

...Hoagaboom zips in a quickie to his receiver on the
slant, and it's 14-0, with only 5 minutes gone in the game and Owls with no first downs
and negative yardage
