Saturday’s Rice vs. UTSA game postponed one day before kickoff

Saturday’s C-USA West showdown between Rice and UTSA has been postponed due to COVID-19 related issues within the UTSA program.

The postponement for Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. ET game was made Friday morning. Both universities plan to work with the C-USA in hopes of rescheduling the game.

Rice was informed Thursday night that UTSA had some positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing in the organization before the news broke Friday.

“I’m disappointed because we put in a great week of work and we’re always excited to play those guys,” Rice head coach Mike Bloomgren said. “We’ve got a lot of guys on our team that know players on their team.
