The Roost Podcast | Ep. 220 – Rice Football Outpaced by North Texas

By

Rice Football started fast but couldn’t finish against North Texas. What to take from the loss, which featured free ice cream and beer for students.

For roughly one quarter, everything was looking good for Rice football. Then the North Texas offense took off and did not slow down. The Owls didn’t get the win, but the student turnout was encouraging and there were still a handful of positives to take from the game as the program still hopes for a bowl opportunity entering the final week of the regular season.

We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 220.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 216 – A Night to Forget for Rice Football at UTSA

By

Almost from opening kickoff, Rice Football got run out of town in San Antonio in a one-sided loss to UTSA. How does that impact this team’s outlook?

Rice football finally gets its much-needed bye week, but the price to get past that final game before the break was costly. Rice allowed 61 points in a horrific contest against UTSA which included two players ejected, four quarterbacks and plenty of questions.

Head coach Scott Abell told The Roost on Wednesday that one of the ejected players, CB Khary Crump, has been suspended from the program indefinitely. We hit on that at the top of the show. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 216.
