We're thinking similarly.  I went with Stanford 34, Rice 13.  We're much more than 3 touchdowns better, but we won't play like it.  I figure it'll be something like 24-6 at half, with our second half offense getting even more conservative, and Rice scoring a late TD against our third-string D.  We will learn next to nothing about how good we are, but it'll feel good to be back!

Good summary; pretty much the way I feel about the game. When the younger guys (like Costello and maybe Wedington and St. Brown) get in I hope Shaw allows them to show what they can do rather than play so conservatively that we can't tell.
