The Roost Podcast | Ep. 239 – Rice Football Misses Chance for Western Michigan Upset

Rice Football went toe-to-toe with Western Michigan and came up short. What should we make of the missed opportunity and how does it change the Owls’ outlook moving forward?

A flurry of pivotal sequences and high-stakes moments left Rice football seven points short of what had the potential to be a statement-making win over Western Michigan. Instead, the Owls are 1-2, with a road trip to Fresno State looming and a challenging American Conference slate after that. What went wrong against the Broncos and what portions of those failings can be rectified as the team moves forward?

We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 239.
