By

The 2022 Rice football season opened on a sour note with a blowout loss to USC. Which problems are concerning and how can this team bounce back?

Rice football started strong against the USC Trojans in Week 1 but disaster struck in the form of injuries, dropped passes and a flurry of mistakes that turned a competitive football into a rout in short order. What good (and bad) should Rice fans take from the game and what will this team look like moving forward? We tackle those questions and more on this week’s show.
