The weather -- or at least the threat of it -- across the country is forcing some schools to scramble this weekend to get in their annual spring games and make the most of their program’s 15th practice.
The latest to be added to this docket is Rice, which announced early Friday afternoon that the Owls’ spring game was being shifted back to a 3 p.m. CT start in order avoid anticipated showers in the Houston area.
It is interesting to see Rice move the annual festivities back to later in the day as most other schools have opted to try and get things done earlier.
Nearby Texas A&M moved their spring game from Saturday to Friday night and Oklahoma did the same with the threat of storms in the area as well.
Rice opens the 2019 season at Army in August as they go into their second year under head coach Mike Bloomgren.
