Rice Football: 10 Takeaways from 2023 Season

December 28, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2023 Rice football season was unpredictable and one-of-a-kind. What can we take away from the Owls’ six-win campaign?

A SERVPRO First Responder’s Bowl appearance marks the end of an eventful 2023 Rice Football season, filled with extremely high highs and some questionable lows. Ultimately, this year will be remembered most for that second-straight bowl appearance, but we learned a lot about this team and this program throughout the season.

Make sure you check out The Roosties, our take on an annual Rice football awards show from The Roost Podcast. There will also be Team Superlatives released throughout the next few weeks featuring more traditional awards like Team MVP, Offense and Defensive Player of the Year and more.
