From Rice,
This afternoon AJ Padgett will become the first true freshman to start at quarterback for the Owls in a bowl game and the first true freshman to start at any position for Rice in a bowl since Andrew Sendejo at safety in the 2006 New Orleans Bowl.
After the rest of the team had cleared out, Coach Bragga stayed behind to encourage Ben Schragger, who allowed the game-winning runs.
This is the kind of leader
@RiceBaseball
needs.
