Rice running back Sam McGuffie and tight end Vance McDonald were impressive during the Owls' spring game. McGuffie took a dump off 65 yards for a score, and McDonald caught five balls for 69 yards and a score. McGuffie finished with three catches for 75 yards, but only managed 10 yards on seven carries.
Both McGuffie and McDonald are expected to be key cogs as the Rice offense looks to return to its 2008 form, when the likes of Clement, Dillard and Casey thrilled fantasy owners.
