Houston - The guessing games have started at Rice as the Owls prepare for Saturday's game at SMU in Dallas.
The Mustangs (2-6, 1-4) have had an extra week to prepare for the Owls, but that extra seven days may have been spent on formations and plays that Rice may not use again.
For example, the Owls attacked UTEP's offense with a three-man defensive front, employing an extra linebacker.
"We may have a few things new," coach Ken Hatfield said of this week's plan. "We did a couple of things (last) Saturday with offensive formations that we had not run before, either."
Saturday's game will kick at 2 pm (CST) at SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The game will be telecast on a tape-delayed basis on CSTV, starting at 7:30 Saturday night.
