Rice Football started strong, but couldn’t complete the upset, succumbing to Fresno State and falling to 1-3 on the season. We break down the good and bad.
Odds makers had this team as a likely candidate to open the season 1-3 before they were beset by injuries. And still, Rice football has found itself in winnable games against quality opponents. What does this team to do to turn those opportunities into victories? And how much should we expect from a team that has looked better on tape than the final resume would reveal?
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 240.
