Rice Football 2023 Spring Notebook 10: Defensive Takeaways

April 19, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The Rice Football defense once again had a productive spring. Here’s what we learned about that side of the ball.

Despite coming out of the wrong side according to the final score in the 2023 Rice Football Blue and Gray Game, the defense had a largely positive spring. They asserted their will in the prior two scrimmages and made plenty of noise along the way, but they have questions still to be answered as spring winds down. Here are 10 closing thoughts on the defense from the totality of the spring.

Rice Football 2023 Spring Notebook 9: Offensive Takeaways

April 18, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The Rice Football offense started slow in the spring but finished strong. Here’s what we learned about that side of the ball.

The offense “won” the 2023 Rice Football Blue and Gray Game, for those that put credence in spring game scoring systems. But regardless of what the scoreboard said, that side of the ball did exhibit plenty of growth from practice 1 to practice 15. Some questions were answered. Others weren’t. Here are 10 closing thoughts on the offense from the totality of the spring.

Rice Football 2023 Spring Practice Notebook 8: Spring Game

April 15, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2023 Rice Football spring game marked the conclusion of spring practices and several individuals made their marks on Saturday night.

The 2023 RiceFootball Blue and Grey Game was won by the offense, 38-11, and played out in much the same way the spring itself did: a slow start followed by successive improvements. JT Daniels led four scoring drives, three of which came against the first team defense to help set the tone for the offseason. More on Daniels, the offense, the defense and where Rice goes from here.

Rice Football 2023 Spring Practice Notebook 7: Big picture questions

April 14, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The last practice before the 2023 Rice Football spring game has wrapped up and there are several questions that still need answering as spring ball ends.

All eyes were focused on the arrival of transfer quarterback JT Daniels, who took the field for the first time this spring. Would he live up to expectations? Early returns have been superb. But with quarterback (thankfully) solved, there are other outstanding questions that Rice football hasn’t found the answers to just yet and spring is rapidly drawing to a close.

Rice Football 2023 Spring Practice Notebook 6: Scrimmage 2

April 11, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice Football completed its second scrimmage of the spring this past weekend, which went better for the offense but still wasn’t a perfect showing.

After a near-dominant showing by the Rice football defense in the first scrimmage of the spring, the offense took a step forward in the second scrimmage, carried by big days from the running backs. This update covers the highlights (and lowlights) from the session as well as a few individuals who stood out to members of the coaching staff.
