The 2025 Rice Football season previews march on. This week, we’re joined by Kevin Fielder to talk FAU and their new head coach, Zach Kittley.
The third edition of our Rice Football opponent summer preview series is in your podcast feeds. Returning guest Kevin Fielder, an FAU alum who’s covered college sports at various outlets, popped in to talk about the new-look Owls and discuss the right (and wrong) approaches to program building in modern college football.
