Catches TD McCaffrey caught seven passes for 121 yards an a touchdown against Houston on Saturday. He also rushed once for 13 yards.

Struggles in first start for Owls McCaffrey went 9-for-19 for 86 yards, a touchdown, and three interceptions against Houston on Saturday.

Impact Rice gave McCaffrey the start after he backed up Wiley Green in the opener. Based on this performance, McCaffrey could be back in the backup role against Texas next week.

Makes first start McCaffrey will start under center Saturday against Houston, according to At The Roost.

Impact McCaffrey went 5-for-10 for 75 yards versus Arkansas last week, but he gets the nod for this one meaning Wiley Green will be the backup. This will be McCaffrey's first start with the program.

Sees action against Razorbacks McCaffrey went 5-for-10 for 75 yards versus Arkansas on Saturday.

Impact Wiley Green started against the Razorbacks, but he really struggled. McCaffrey was always expected to get snaps, but Green's struggles could have got him more looks. It's a little disappointing that McCaffrey couldn't get anything done on the ground. The former Nebraska quarterback only gained eight yards on four carries.

Not starting but will play McCaffrey will not start but will play Saturday against Arkansas, At The Roost reports.

Labeled co-starter for opener McCaffrey is listed as a co-starter for Saturday's season opener versus Arkansas, Steve Helwick of SB Nation reports.

Impact McCaffrey entered camp competing with Wiley Green for the starting job and it appears the situation hasn't been completely resolved. A clearer picture of who will be under center to open the season should emerge prior to kickoff Saturday, though it's quite possible both QBs will see the field.

In competition for starting job McCaffrey is competing with Wiley Green to win the Rice starting quarterback job, Steve Helwick of Underdog Dynasty reports.

Impact McCaffrey was unable to unseat Adrian Martinez permanently for the starting job at Nebraska, leading to his transfer to Rice in mid-June. Coach Mike Bloomgren indicated that the staff intends to give him some time to get up to speed to compete for the job since McCaffrey is new to the system, so it's possible this competition won't be resolved until late in camp.

Impact The redshirt freshman will be moving on from Louisville without ever having suited up for the team after he joined the Cardinals as a transfer from Nebraska earlier in the offseason.

McCaffrey, who has up to four years of eligibility remaining, completed 64.8 percent of his throws for 6.9 yards per attempt and a 3:6 TD:INT while adding 530 yards and four touchdowns as a rusher during his two seasons with the Nebraska program.
