Rice Football Recruiting: Where are 2018 decommits now?

May 18, 2021 By Matthew Bartlett

There were a host of decommitments in the 2018 Rice Football recruiting class. Where are those players now? Did the Owls miss out or luck out?

The 2018 Rice football recruiting class was impacted by the biggest transition Rice had seen in more than a decade. On November 27, the Owls dismissed head coach David Bailiff. The Owls lost several commits after that decision and a few in the months and weeks before.

According to 247 Sports, Rice had nine decommitments during the cycle. Where are those players now?

Rice Football 2021 Spring Ball Review: Quarterback

April 19, 2021 By Matthew Bartlett

Finding a quarterback remains at the top of the Rice football to-do list. Here’s what we learned in the pivotal position battle this spring.

Quarterback is the most important position in football. It’s also been the most challenging spot for Rice football to solidify over the past several seasons. With Mike Collins departed, there’s a real Rice will start a different quarterback in their season opener in 2021, marking the sixth consecutive year with a different QB1 on opening day following a multi-year run by Driphus Jackson in 2014 and 2015.

Rather than dwell on history, the Owls need answers. Here’s what we learned about the most important position battle of the spring, including a best guess at how things will look entering the fall.

Rice Football 2021 Spring Ball Review: Offense

April 12, 2021 By Matthew Bartlett

The Rice football spring practices are complete. What did we learn about the offense and where does it stand entering the summer?

The Rice football defense was more or less a known commodity entering the spring. The offense had more question marks. Some of those were answered — running back, wide receiver — while others remain unsettled.

We’ll tackle quarterbacks in a separate post. That battle was and will continue to be crucial to the Owls’ long-term prospects on this side of the ball. First, we’ll look at their playmakers and the guys protecting them in the trenches.

Rice Football 2021 Spring Ball Review: Defense

April 6, 2021 By Matthew Bartlett

The Rice football spring practices are complete. What did we learn about the defense and where does it stand entering the summer?

There wasn’t much mystery with the Rice football defense entering spring practices. The Owls finished the 2020 regular season ranked 12th nationally in scoring defense and returned the vast majority of their starters and depth. Beyond filling an open spot at linebacker, spring was about tidying up loose ends and building depth. From the line to the secondary, here’s where each position group ended up.

Rice Football: 2021 Blue-Gray Spring Game Review

April 2, 2021 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football spring practice wrapped up this week with the Blue-Gray Game. Final thoughts and takeaways from the last session of the spring.

What a difference a week can make. The last update came following the final scrimmage of the spring in which the defense dominated the offense from start to finish. The reversal came true on Friday night during the annual Rice Football Blue-Gray Spring Game. The offense went on to win 48-34, holding on to a commanding first-half lead.

The offense scored on five of their first seven drives, with Wiley Green and TJ McMahon each leading a pair of touchdown drives. Then the defense took charge, limited the offense to just three scoring plays over the final 12 drives, one of which came on a 65-yard touchdown bomb from McMahon to wideout Andrew Mason.
