We continue our march through the Texas Longhorns' 2022 schedule, this week previewing another former Southwest Conference opponent - the Rice Owls.

They bring back a ton of production from last year's team, in addition to adding former Nebraska Cornhusker quarterback Luke McCaffrey to their talented core.
