Rice Football: What’s the path to a bowl game? — August Patreon Q&A

By

What’s the path for Rice football to reach their first bowl game under head coach Mike Bloomgren? We explore that topic in this month’s Patreon Q&A.

I was asked one extremely important question this month that made me think. If Rice football wants to reach a bowl game this season, they’ll need to win at least six games. Some will be easier than others, of course, which fits in well with this month’s question. Which games does Rice “need” to win? What’s the most likely path to the postseason? We tackle those themes in this month’s Patreon Q&A.

Rice Football: What to expect from the kicking game — Patreon Q&A

By

The kicking game was an adventure for Rice football last season. Will it be better this year? We tackle that question in this month’s Patreon Q&A.

Rice football made five field goals last season, the fewest in all of college football. Their 45.5 percent conversion rate on their 11 tries was dead last in the FBS. Quite literally, there is nowhere to go but up. But what does that look like? We tackle what Rice has done to address the kicking game in this month’s Patreon Q&A.

Which Rice football position group is the best? worst? All-American Q&A

By

All-American Level subscribers on Patreon get access to a monthly Q&A with me. This update we’ll rank the Rice football position groups for 2021.

Q. Which Rice football position group are you the most confident in for this year? And if they have a weakness, what is it? How would you rank the positions?

A. This exercise was really, really hard. A couple of weeks ago it would have been pretty easy to slide quarterback down to the bottom of the list, but with Luke McCaffrey on board, they’re definitely not the position group I’m most worried about? But how far should they climb?

Here’s where I ended up in my best attempt to rank positions in terms of confidence level.
