By

Matthew and Carter break down the second tough loss of the 2021 Rice Football season this week, recapping what went wrong against Houston.

There wasn’t much in the way of positive news to take away from the Rice football loss to Houston at home in Week 2. The Owls started slow and ended with a walk-off pick-six. Nevertheless, what went wrong, and how much can reasonably be expected to improve in the weeks ahead are worthy conversation topics for this week’s episode.
