The Rice University football team was going through little more than a routine workout — some light running in the late afternoon — when Dale Lloyd suddenly collapsed on the field.

He was conscious for the ambulance ride to the hospital at about 5 p.m. Sunday, but died in the hospital 16 hours later.
