2023 Rice Football Season Preview: Running Back

July 9, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: running back. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

Will 2023 be the year the ground game breaks through? And if so, what is it going to take from the personnel on hand (and/or the scheme) to get that aspect of the Owls’ offense moving? Here’s how the position looks in 2023.
