Rice Football 2023 : Takeaways from Fall Camp Scrimmage 1

By

The first scrimmage of Rice football fall camp is in the books and the defense came to play. What went right for that unit and what can the offense improve?

Rice football head coach Mike Bloomgren summed it up rather well in his comments following the Owls’ 10th fall camp practice. “I’ve done this too long to be surprised that the defense is ahead at scrimmage number one,” he remarked, going on to reiterate his confidence in the offense and the growth of the team as a whole.

This practice report will dig into what the defense did well as well as identify some of the key problems the offense had. There’s a lot to improve before Rice football hosts its second scrimmage next week.

2023 Rice Football Season Preview: Wide Receiver

By

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: wide receiver. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

As of the end of June, it seemed reasonable to conclude the wide receiver room was the deepest position group Rice football would bring into the 2023 season. That might still very well be the case, but the room dynamics will inevitably shift with the loss of star wideout Bradley Rozner to the Transfer Portal in early July. Here’s how the position looks in 2023.

Here’s how the position looks in 2023.
