The 2026 Rice Football season previews march on. This week, we’re joined by JD Davis to look ahead at North Texas.
North Texas is starting over in 2026. After losing their head coach, quarterback and a good chunk of their roster and staff to Oklahoma State this past offseason, where do the Mean Green sit in terms of expectations and resources under new head coach Neal Brown. Which version of this program will Rice football face this fall?
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 227.
