The 2026 Rice Football season previews march on. This week, we’re joined by Robbie Lastella to look ahead at FAU.
Florida Atlantic has had a rather quiet offseason by typical standards in Boca Raton, but a returning head coach and quarterback have the Owls optimistic about the year ahead. What can Rice football fans expect from their mascot peers on the East Coast?
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 229.
