Meanwhile, Florida uncharacteristically posted an 8-5 record in 2010 but has since seen an end to the Urban Myers era with Will Muschamp assuming the reigns back on December 11, 2010.
Gone is the spread, and back is the pro-style; something that could work in the Owls' favor - if anything can. Especially since an apparently improved unit of FAU defenders see it on a daily basis and the Gators are transitioning.
However, the Owls have a lot to establish on the offensive side of the ball with game experience naivety at the QB spot, no standout receiver making a mark as of yet, and an offensive line that continues to gain its footing slowly. Accordingly, UF should thrive as Muschamps' teams allowed fewer than 100 rushing yards per game during his eight year tenure as a defensive coordinator.
FAU is 4-6 all time on opening day, but 0-6 against nationally ranked teams overall; including a 59-20 loss to #14 Florida back on 11/17/07. The Owls come into Saturday's contest in similar fashion as a heavy underdog at +34.

Spead it out and Throw
Cram it with the Power Run
Employ a 50-50 mix
