Rice football fell back to .500 with its first truly disappointing loss of the Scott Abell era against FAU. We dissect how it happened and what it means going forward.
A home favorite against FAU, Rice football couldn’t secure a win, dropping their second consecutive conference games and falling to 3-3 on the season as a result. The offense showed some growth. The defense remained challenged on third down. What does this mean for the program with half the season ahead and a bye-week not close enough. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 215.
