The Roost is pleased to announce the release of the 2022 Conference USA Football Season Preview. This digital magazine is a one-stop-shop for every Conference USA and Rice football fan.
The 2022 Conference USA Football Season Preview
This publication details everything you could imagine about Rice Football including:
- Roster analysis and depth chart projections
- All-Conference picks and rising star projections
- Insight on every Conference USA teams and commentary on the four incoming schools supported by plugged-in local experts
As one Rice administrator dubbed it:
it’s the bible for Rice Football fans.
Get answers to questions like “Has the quarterback problem been solved?” or “Which incoming players could make the biggest impact?” or “Who are the top returning players Rice will face in Conference USA?”
This year we’ve tailored the content toward the ever-evolving landscape of college football, discussing the changes to Conference USA, memories of fans and media members from the last several years and what the conference will look like in the future. That’s in addition to the five pages on each individual program.

- “The Roost’s C-USA preview has been an indispensable resource for me as I make my preparations for this season.”
- “I just spent 30 minutes going through it, but barely skimmed the surface. It’s a great way to learn the new players.
- “I don’t know any preview that could be more detailed than that.”
