The Rice football special teams misfired on multiple occasions as the Owls dropped another game, this time to North Texas on the road.
No phase of the game was perfect, but the Rice football special teams really wants a re-do after delivering problematic plays on a return, a punt and a missed field goal that turned a would-be upset bid into a one-sided result that did not end in the Owls’ favor. Carter and Matthew talk through those concerns, plus some positive showings from both quarterbacks and a feisty defense that played better than the final box score might reflect.
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 245.
