"In addition to Kansas, Oklahoma State and Cincinnati, FAU will play seven Sun Belt Conference opponents next year, and Angelos has had discussions with teams including Miami, Nebraska and Louisville for an 11th game."

… its great knowing that these teams will play us but does anyone thing were going to turn into another UCF? meaning biteing off more than we can chew…. The only justification I can find is that we play 7 sun belt games so we have a chance of winning at least 7 games andif we lose to the other big programs we still look good on paper…
Interesting comparison. But UCF wasn't all bad. They had the good years in the 90's with Daunte Culpepper. Then they had good years with Ryan Schneider for the past several years.
This year has nothing to do with the opponents. They lost to BUFFALO And AKRON!!! I think it's internal. Lost players,injuries and player disatisfactions will do that too you. Top that with a new coach who tries to make you forget EVERYTHING you've learned from the previous coach and you have turmoil/dicipline problems.
We're gonig to take our lumps on the next level. That's all apart of the transition. We have great athletes to chose from during National Signing Day. Recruits will want to play for the OWLS because of the schedule! We have great players coming back to almost each positions. We have redshirts waiting their turns. So if you believe that this year's team can compete with some of these teams then relax, the "replacement"(2005) players will do ok too.
Cincy lost to Army. Army beat USF. I feel that we would give USF fits this year. Honest! So maybe we could hang with Cincy next year. OK State? A little more beefy linemen should keep us on the field. The speed is always there. Same for the other positions. Additional size will make our team very competitive with these teams.
Your part about losses looking good on papers may in fact be a measuring stick. We take care of business in the SunBelt and the OOC losses(if they happen) may/may not hamper our bid for a bowl.
Does anyone know if the SunBelt work on strength of schedule?

In the end, the game would be huge for recruiting with Miami having a lot to lose and FAU having everything to gain. ;D

While I like coach's focus on south Florida talent and speed, it is always nice to add beef from the midwest.

Couldn't agree more. Too many midwest coaches go on record saying that they get their beef from their states and come to Florida for the speed. We should return the favor.
