Rice Owls utilize both Gael Ochoa and Jacurri Brown at quarterback

The Rice Owls are managing a dual-quarterback situation with Gael Ochoa starting and Jacurri Brown recovering from an ankle injury. Ochoa set an American Conference record for rushing yards by a quarterback in his first start, and has been named the starter again after a solid performance against North Texas. Head coach Scott Abell indicated both quarterbacks would remain involved in the offense as the team navigates their unique capabilities. Ochoa aims to build on his success while Brown's return to full health remains a key focus for the Owls.
