Business in the front

Lets the game come to him. Great instincts. Has that special ability where he always seems to be around the ball. It's not luck. I think he really understand his position/responsibilities. Likely understands everyone's position/responsibilities, including the opponent.

The AF game could make him a millionaire. I think he knows it.

Agreed that Rice seemed to have an instinct about where the game was going. I would also suspect our defense adjusted to the speed of North Dakota and their nicely designed plays.

Toward the end of the second half our defense seemed to play with much more energy and the level of contact markedly increased. Our offense also seemed to catch a spark mid second half and began playing like someone was keeping score.
