The Roost Podcast | Ep 158 – Unpacking Rice Football vs Texas

By

Rice Football hung around for a bit before falling to Texas. What does it mean for the Owls moving forward? We discuss on this week’s show.

The 2023 Rice football season has officially begun, and although it started with a loss, there were plenty of reasons to be optimistic about its future. The defense had a very positive showing against Texas and there are reasons to believe the offensive struggles shouldn’t persist. Let’s dig into the game.

By

We wrap up our fall camp discussion with the Rice football defense, breaking down that side of the ball and talking through the depth chart at each position.

The Rice football defensive line lost a lot, but might actually be better. The linebacker room looks as deep as its been in quite some time and the secondary has an interesting combination of potential difference-makers and up-and-comers. How will the Owls piece it all together and what will the result be? We talk about the entirety of the defense in this week’s show.
