The Rice Owls held their official media day Saturday afternoon following their first scrimmage of the summer, complete with full pads, officiating, and a sense that the regular season is around the corner.
Head coach Mike Bloomgren and a handful of players were present to preview Rice’s 2019 campaign, which kicks off Friday, August 30, at Army.

Rice has yet to settle on a starting quarterback in its pro-style offense and the team presents several viable candidates for the position. A season ago, four different quarterbacks threw at least 20 passes for the Owls.
