What if JT Daniels is good? — Rice Football July 2023 Patreon Q&A

By

Quarterback JT Daniels was a big get for Rice football in terms of name recognition. How far can the Owls go if he lives up to the hype?

JT Daniels received his fair share of barbs when word broke last year that he would be transferring to play for Rice football in 2023. The journeyman passer has bounced around college football, seeing starting stints at USC, Georgia and West Virginia before winding up in Houston with head coach Mike Bloomgren and the Owls.

Nods have been given to Bloomgren and the program for landing a well-known name. But Daniels isn’t coming to South Main to kiss babies and smile for pictures. He wants to win and his track record suggests he’s got talent. If that is true and he plays up to that potential how far can the Owls soar?

2023 Rice Football Season Preview: Wide Receiver

By

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: wide receiver. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

As of the end of June, it seemed reasonable to conclude the wide receiver room was the deepest position group Rice football would bring into the 2023 season. That might still very well be the case, but the room dynamics will inevitably shift with the loss of star wideout Bradley Rozner to the Transfer Portal in early July. Here’s how the position looks in 2023.

2023 Rice Football Season Preview: Running Back

By

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: running back. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

The running game was meant to be the bread and butter of the Rice football offense under Mike Bloomgren, but it’s been a slog in recent years for a myriad of reasons. Will 2023 be the year the ground game breaks through? And if so, what is it going to take from the personnel on hand (and/or the scheme) to get that aspect of the Owls’ offense moving? Here’s how the position looks in 2023.
