Rice Football Practice Report: Availability, opportunities and questions before game week

August 23, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football has some positions solved and others are still up in the air as the team gets closer and closer to starting game prep for its season opener against Texas.

In the days ahead, Rice football will officially start installing its game plan for the season opener against Texas on September 2. In the meantime, there are a few position groups with uncertainty to figure out. Depth charts are forthcoming, but how the team is attacking this interim period also says a lot about who is in the mix for which spots.

This practice report digs into those position groups of note, addressing a few existing injuries and some players on their way back as well as a few additional items.

Rice Football Practice Report: Offense bounces back from scrimmage woes

August 17, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football is halfway through fall camp. The offense had a bit of a bounce back and a few individuals are making waves.

The Rice football defense stole the show in the first scrimmage of fall camp, putting the onus on the offense to respond. The unit bounced back in earnest this week, putting together a much more cohesive performance than they did last Saturday.

This practice report will dig into what went right for the offense as well as highlight a few individuals on that side of the ball who continue to rise through the ranks.

Rice Football 2023 : Takeaways from Fall Camp Scrimmage 1

August 12, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

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.

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.
