Rice Football never came close to scary Memphis on Halloween night. We talk through the loss in this week’s episode of the Roost Podcast.

Any thoughts of an upset were quickly laid to rest on Friday night when Rice football fell behind 21-0 in the early goings against a ranked Memphis squad. There were plenty of things that didn’t go according to plan, making a win a long shot at best before halftime arrived. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 216 – A Night to Forget for Rice Football at UTSA

By

Almost from opening kickoff, Rice Football got run out of town in San Antonio in a one-sided loss to UTSA. How does that impact this team’s outlook?

Rice football finally gets its much-needed bye week, but the price to get past that final game before the break was costly. Rice allowed 61 points in a horrific contest against UTSA which included two players ejected, four quarterbacks and plenty of questions.

Head coach Scott Abell told The Roost on Wednesday that one of the ejected players, CB Khary Crump, has been suspended from the program indefinitely. We hit on that at the top of the show. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 216.

By

Rice football fell back to .500 with its first truly disappointing loss of the Scott Abell era against FAU. We dissect how it happened and what it means going forward.

A home favorite against FAU, Rice football couldn’t secure a win, dropping their second consecutive conference games and falling to 3-3 on the season as a result. The offense showed some growth. The defense remained challenged on third down. What does this mean for the program with half the season ahead and a bye-week not close enough. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page.
