Sparks win over MTSU with three TD receptions
Rice wide receiver Brad Rozner has been named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Owls to a 31-28 win over Middle Tennessee. C-USA Football Players of the Week are voted on by a panel of the league's media. All C-USA weekly awards are presented by Top of the World Headwear.
He is the first Owl to win C-USA's weekly offensive award since Juma Otoviano was honored at the end of the 2018 season.
Rozner hauled in scores of 30, 18 and 34 yards from Tom Stewart to become the first Owl since Jordan Taylor in 2013 to have three TD receptions in a game. He topped 100 yards for the fourth time this year, becoming the first Rice receiver since Taylor in 2014 to top 100 yards four times in a season. Rozner's 681 receiving yards this year are the most for a first-year player at Rice since 1951 while his 47 receptions are second to Larry Davis, who had 54 in 1967.
He leads the Owls in receiving yards (681), average per catch (14.5) and receiving touchdowns (5) and is second with 47 receptions in his first year after transferring from Cisco College.
Rice will close out its 2019 home football schedule this Saturday when the Owls host North Texas at Rice Stadium. Kickoff is set for 2:30 with coverage provided by the NFL Network.
