If FAU has gotten all the kinks out this year it shouldn't be a close game.

SIU lost a number of games by less than 7 points. Most losses are very close. The record is not indicative of overall performance. Not too sure about transfers. Always have a number of solid D1 transfers. About half of them pan out. I expect that the D will move back to a 4-3. Played 3-4 the past few years and were undersized. The new coach will probably use more vertical passing than past seasons and more of a pro-style offense than years past. Hard to know what SIU will bring. I can say that they have talent and should play a competitive game.

If we are on the path we think we are on I expect to be up 7 to 14 points at half and run away with it in the second half due to our depth at offensive line and defensive line. I hope for a healthy game and a confidence builder. IF we have a 7-3 Wagner game I will be going to a liquor store immediately after the game to stock up for the season.

I dont think we need to run up the score. I think we need to
a) Be dominant on defense including lots of turnovers.
b) Clean quick well executed plays on offense without stupid mistakes or unnecessary penalties.

I'll be right behind ya.
And if we lose that game, I'll be attending the remainder of the home games, sitting in the Hyundai deck area where I have access to the bar

If this is a close game the program is in big trouble and I will heading to the liquor store as well. I was going there anyway I'm just going to buy more than usual.
GO OWLS!

SIU lost close games in Div ll to not great teams, FAU lost close games in Div I including taking the then #8 ranked gators to OT and taking it to Miami late in the 3rd until we lost our starting QB and RB.

Not division 2. SIU is in the strongest conference in 1-AA. Lost to multiple playoff teams and Big Ten Indiana. 6 losses came by a total of 19 points. Again, I do not know what to expect with a new coach on board. I do think it will be close at the half. That is how SIU plays. Depth will likely be the difference.
