Unpacking the Rice football QB carousel — November 2021 Patreon Q&A

November 29, 2021 By Matthew Bartlett

Four different quarterbacks saw action for Rice football in 2021 and injuries told just part of the story. The genesis of this overview comes from a valid, and probing question: “Why did the Owls not use TJ McMahon during the year?” Did the coaching staff not know what he could do? Did they not trust him? And how did his usage fit in the big picture? We’ll unpack all of those angles here.
