Despite some early camp worries about the team's receiving core, Rice coaches have been pleased with the level of play of Mario Hull, Randy Kitchens and Donte Moore.
Remember that the two main pass catchers for Rice are tight ends Luke Willson and Vance McDonald and running back Sam McGuffie. Of these receivers, however, the one to keep an eye on is Kitchens, who has big play ability and finally appears to be healthy. Let the Owls receivers prove themselves first, especially considering their opener is against Texas.
