The Rice football offense got things in gear, while the defense got exposed and the special teams misfired, ending in another loss.
Gael Ochoa went supernova, but there was so much more to like from the Rice football offense in their shootout defeat against FAU this past Saturday. We dig into what went well and what should (?) be repeatable for this team going forward. Then we get to the defense and special teams, which rendered the stellar showing on the offensive side of the ball almost moot.
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 244.
