Rice Football has a bowl game on the line against South Florida and is doing all they can to squeeze one more win from this schedule. Here’s the latest from the field.

The offense took a step forward against North Texas, but there’s a long way to go to keep up with the elite teams in the American Conference. South Florida should pose a similar challenge and the Owls have been tirelessly working on the practice field this week to turn in a more successful result.

Rice Football 2025: North Texas Game Week Practice Notes

November 19, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice Football has had two weeks to prepare for Senior Night and a massive matchup with a ranked North Texas squad. Here’s the latest from the field.

This bye week felt much different for Rice football than their previous one. This current iteration of the Owls is much healthier in key spots and was actually able to use practice time drilling key concepts with the players expected to execute them on Saturday. Juggling that priority with bringing along necessary depth on other spots made for an intriguing two weeks on the practice field.

Rice Football 2025: UAB Game Week Practice Notes

November 5, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice Football is assessing all their options this week from personnel to prep as they do all they can on the practice field to prepare for UAB.

Three games remain on the Rice football scheduled and head coach Scott Abell is doing all he can to find a way to earn a fourth chance to play this fall. To reach a bowl game, the Owls are going to have to reach a higher level of consistency or big-play ability than they have so far this season. Both were focal points during practice this week.
