The blowout win over UTEP was a welcome respite from the pain early on, but the Owls have scored a grand total of 1. Stanford, Houston and FIU. UAB will likely be the only game Rice will be favored in the rest of the way. Terry Bowden, Akron. The Zips played okay in a loss at Troy, but it was another loss. Akron has yet to beat an FBS team. Fortunately, Bowling Green is up next, but lose that, and Bowdens fate might be sealed with Ball State, at Western Michigan, and at Toledo to follow. Steve Addazio, Boston College.

Early in his second year at the helm, hell get a little bit of leeway to see if anything can start to turn around, but this is the SECs worst team by a mile. NOTHING is working. Not only have the Tigers lost their last three games by a combined score of 1. Now they have to go to Kentucky and Georgia theyll be 1 5 before getting a break against Idaho and UConn. Gary Andersen, Oregon State. There was a week off from the pain. With the worst team in the Pac 1. Oregon State has allowed 1. FBSers.
