Rice Football 2023 Spring Practice Notebook 4: Scrimmage 1

By

The first scrimmage of 2023 Rice Football spring practice is in the books. Here are a few individual standouts and some big-picture takeaways.

As is typically the case, the Rice football offense was doing push ups at the end of spring scrimmage one, losing the day to the defense. Head coach Mike Bloomgren admitted it would have been a rarity to see the offense come out faster than the defense to start any camp session, but was quick to level some specific critiques as well. This update breaks down some individual standouts on both sides of the ball and their ramifications on the team thus far.

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: 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.
