What my head tells me:
We really need to stop the ground and pound style of running that Nebraska will be running tomorrow, we should have the passing attack covered with Parms and Smith on D.
That being said I do not expect a blow out due to a high volume of running plays, unfortunately I do see Nebraska getting constant first downs keeping it on the ground.
On a much lighter note I can't wait to see how our offense preforms, i'm expecting the Owls to score on there first drive and keep Nebraska on it's toes
But in the end I expect this gave to be much like the FAU V. Georgia game keeping it tight in the beginning, losing ground going into the end of the half and ultimately losing the game in the 2nd half
At Half: 14-24
Final: 17-38
Fan Fiction Time:
Nebraska starts with the ball, drives down to the FAU 20, D'joun smith picks it and takes it to the house
7-0 Owls
Carl Frustrated with his new starting QB (armstong) Carl puts in his backup Fyfe in, whom puts together a good drive resulting in a field goal
7-3 Owls
Owls making there first offensive drive count taking it 82 yards in 10 plays ending with a lucky whitehead 18 yard TD
14-3 Owls
Fyfe whom has very few first team reps starts to show weakness in his second drive, the shotgun snap goes over his head and is recovered by Kirk
Quez takes over and on the second play of the drive bombs a 30 yarder to Duke who takes it the rest of the way.
21-3 Owls at the half
….Nebraska is so embarrassed by their performance in the first half they don't leave the locker room, Carl Pelini is fired after the Owls are declared wins and FAU is the reason behind the Pelini brothers being joblessPosted On: Aug 29th 2014, 1:06 PM #333606

I'm really not sold on the Nebraska offense. If we can stop the run I think FAU really can win the game. I predict Quez throws for at least 300 yards and defense gets at least 2 TOs. Unfortunately for the Owls I think Nebraska win 30-17 as we will lose in the trenches. I would really be shocked if Nebraska doesn't cover the spread.Posted On: Aug 29th 2014, 1:43 PM #333612
??? You just predicted Nebraska wouldn't cover the spread.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

The last time I felt this way at a major opponent's game was at Kansas State a number of years ago. I thought that we could win, if we did not beat ourselves.
As best I recall, Kansas State ran the opening kickoff back for a TD, and never looked back. After a lengthy lightning delay, the Owls stumbled and staggered to a 45-0 hammering.
For tomorrow? Get down early, and it gets very ugly. Stay competitive for a half and, well, it could be respectable.
However, I have not had enough to drink to attach a predicted score to these thoughts. Stay tuned.
