The Roost Podcast | Ep 168 – Rice Football blasts Charlotte

By

Rice football got back in the win column with an emphatic victory over Charlotte thanks to a dominant defense and an outstanding day from Dean Connors.

For the first time in the last four weeks, Rice football faced an opponent that was not unbeaten in league play and the Owls took out several weeks’ worth of frustration against the hapless Charlotte 49ers. This game wasn’t very close and Rice did what they needed to do to put it out of reach and then slam the door. We recap the win and talk about the true talent level of this team as the season winds down.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 167 – Rice Football rolled by Roadrunners

By

Rice football stayed close for a half, but couldn’t overcome a disastrous third quarter against UTSA, falling to the Roadrunners yet again.

For the eighth straight time, Rice football lost to UTSA. After being blown out in the last two contests with the Roadrunners, the Owls kept it close this time around with a backup quarterback under center. In this week’s episode, we debrief the game, talk about the offense, the encouraging defensive gameplan and debate what to do with targeting.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 166 – Rice Football falls short vs SMU

By

Rice football was down multiple defensive starters and had no JT Daniels late, but still managed to give SMU a dogfight down to the final whistle.

When Rice football quarterback JT Daniels didn’t emerge from halftime, the situation felt dire. Yet somehow, Rice rallied and gave one of the best teams in the AAC a run for their money. This isn’t a podcast purposed to dwell on moral victories, but there were a lot of things to take away from this game, many of them good. We break it down in this week’s show.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 165 – Tulane outlasts Rice Football

By

Rice football ran out of time at home against Tulane, missing out on what would have been a tremendous upset by a few points and falling to 4-4 on the season.

It didn’t look like things would be that tight when Rice football fell behind 27-7 at halftime, but the Owls held Tulane to just three points in the second half, buying time for their offense to get things into gear and turn a would-be-blowout into a close game. Unfortunately, Rice came up short. What went wrong and what can they salvage moving forward? We break it down in this week’s show.
