RICE OWLS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Rice run over by SMU 27-24 in regular-season finale
It seemed just for the 2011 season to end like this, with Rice senior quarterback Nick Fanuzzi playing the role of Sisyphus, laboring to move an offense that had sputtered far more frequently than it had succeeded.
The Owls' defense, good but not great, provided an opportunity by stopping SMU one final time midway through the fourth quarter. The Owls' special teams, solid...

Fanuzzi delivers top performance
The ball was placed perfectly on a figurative tee for Rice senior quarterback Nick Fanuzzi to bash with a swing of deserved boasting.
His greatest collegiate moment had recently concluded, and Fanuzzi stood before the assembled media in a team meeting room awash in congratulations and lionized for the Owls' 41-37 victory over UTEP last Saturday. He had set a career standard for...

SIZE DOESN'T MATTER?
Rice Owls RB is incredibly small

Rice gets cooked by Tulsa
There was only so much Nick Fanuzzi could do. By the time he entered the game in relief on Saturday night at historic Rice Stadium, no amount of his valiance could help the Owls escape the hole that had been excavated.
Rice's defensive resilience was squandered, too, sacrificed to a three-score deficit built just beyond the midpoint of the first quarter.
The second half of the...

Clement and receiver Jarett Dillard have connected for five scores through three games and are on their way to being the most prolific duo in history.
Unless you somehow missed the first two Texas games you know...

We're Going Bowling: The New Orleans Bowl
This may be the bowl game that the fewest people care about. Troy and Rice are the two teams lucky enough to be able to make the trip down to New Orleans to compete in the R&L Carriers New Orleans bowl. I don't know what R&L Carriers does, but it's probably more exciting than this game will be.
