The Roost Podcast | Ep 89 – Rice Football vs Arkansas Game Preview

September 2, 2021 By Matthew Bartlett

Matthew and Carter preview the first game of the 2021 Rice Football season this week, breaking down how the Owls match up against Arkansas.

Rice football opens its 2021 season on Saturday against former Southwest Conference foe Arkansas. The Owls will have their hands full against an SEC opponent, but the new-look offense and depth on the defense should give them some confidence. Matthew and Carter break down those matchups and preview the game itself.
