By

Rice football has two games left in the regular season and UAB is next on the docket. Here’s what we learned from the Owls at practice this week.

On the (interim) head coach

Make sure you check out this feature released earlier in the week on Alamar and what the program is going to look like for the next few weeks under his direction. That’s going to impact the day-to-day operations around South Main to some extent, but there’s no sense in reiterating the same information twice. Things have gone more or less according to plan, in those respects.

Rice Football 2024: Tulane Game Week Practice Report

By

Rice football is getting clarity on some injuries and getting to work preparing for Tulane.  Here’s what we learned from the Owls at practice this week.

There were many players in and out of the lineup this week as the rigors of the physicality of the sport have made themselves present within the Rice football roster. This week, that meant a lot of good news including a couple of potential starters the Owls are trending toward having back on the field against Tulane.

However, head coach Mike Bloomgren did disclose an update regarding the trio of receivers the Owls expected to be their top three options entering fall camp: Landon Ransom, Rawson MacNeill and Thai Bowman.

“I don’t know that Landon [Ransom] or Rawson [MacNeill] will play this year,” Bloomgren told The Roost “I do expect Thai to [play].” How does that change the complexion of the receiving corps if two of the Owls’ frontline options are indeed expected to miss the entirety of the 2024 season? And about the other moving parts as the Owls ready for the Green Wave? Here’s where the team stands prior to the Tulane game this weekend.
