Rice Football 2022 Fall Camp Notebook 2: Assessing the Offense

By

Offensive Coordinator Marques Tuiasosopo unpacked his plans and outstanding questions for the Rice football offense as the Owls start fall camp.

On Saturday, Rice football practiced with pads for the first time during fall camp, giving the skill position players their chance to perform against real coverages and real pressure. For many, it was the opening stanza of a three-week-long interview with precious starting spots on the line. It was also the first of six consecutive practice days following which the team will host a meaningful scrimmage.

He was kind enough to sit down with The Roost to debrief what he’s seen so far and share expectations and key storylines he’ll be paying attention to as fall camp progresses.

Rice Football 2022 Fall Camp Notebook 1: Depth Chart

By

The first Rice football depth chart of the fall camp has been released and there’s a lot to discuss as the run-up to the season begins.

At the end of the day, depth charts aren’t nearly as important as we’d like to make the out to be. Coaches don’t spend as much time pouring over the particulars as one might initially think. The first Rice football depth chart of fall camp is no different. It’s a guideline and a starting point for what promises to be several weeks of interesting developments.

To that end, it’s always instrumental to begin the exercise by looking at which faces are new to the roster, who isn’t listed at all and which notable changes have occurred since the last iteration was published.

Rice Football 2022 Season Preview: Wide Receivers

By

As part of our 2022 Rice Football Preseason Preview series, this week we’ll dive into the wide receiver position and discuss the Owls’ plans for that group this year.

Year over year, it’s possible no Rice football position group will look more different than the wide receiver room.

Two starters from last year’s team, Jake Bailey and August Pitre, transferred this offseason. Bradley Rozner, after missing the last two seasons, and a host of transfers (plus a position switch from Luke McCaffrey) give this room options. Who steps up? Here’s our 2022 Wide Receiver Preview.

Rice Football 2022: Early Position by position confidence levels

By

Spring ball is long gone and Rice Football is preparing to turn the page toward the 2022 season. How confident should we be in each position group?

Every Rice football position group entered the spring facing a different set of questions. For some, spring was about identifying starters. For others, it was assessing the depth and determining if reinforcements were needed. Not all those questions were answered, but we did learn enough to project how confident we might be in each position group heading into the 2022 season.

Rice Football 2022: Concerns after spring ball? — Patreon Q&A

By

It wasn’t all sunshine and roses for Rice football this spring. The April 2022 Patreon Q&A focuses on the concerns outstanding after spring practices.

It’s almost impossible to leave the spring without feeling some sort of optimism regarding the team as a whole. This year’s Rice football spring sessions were no different. And while much has been written to this point about what went right this spring, it also seems prudent to address the questions regarding what I saw that didn’t fill me with hope.
