Finish the Freaking Game

Tulsa forced four turnovers at Navy and still lost 34-26, blowing a two-score lead for the second straight week. That's three losses in a row, and now it's on to Rice for game two of the three-straight-option-games stretch.

Matt is out traveling for work, so I solo recap the Navy loss, zoom out on some broader trends of the season thus far and where things are headed, and hand out players of the game.

Then we welcome in Matthew Bartlett from The Roost to preview the Rice Owls. We talk Rice's 1-5 start and why this team is better than its record, Scott Abell's option offense, Jacurri Brown, a secondary rebuilt through the portal, the new First Community Stadium, and predictions (spoiler: we don't agree). Kickoff is Saturday at 3:30 PM central on ESPN+.

Then solo-ryan returns to round things out with JMU joining the American, the rest of Around the American, a quick run through the other TU sports, and basketball media days.
