FEARLESS PREDICTIONS: FAU @ FIU 10/01/2016

Post

It is rivalry weekend for the Owls and the Panthers. FAU comes in at 1-3 on the season and leads the series 10-4. FIU is 0-4 on the season and lost to FAU last year by 14 points.

once again both teams find themselves in need of a win and desperate to turn around the season. FIU fired HC Ron Turner last week and many FAU fans are calling for the same end for FAU HC Charlie Partridge. This game is more than a rivalry, it has the potential to turn the season around for the winning team.

Both teams will be ready to play and the game will likely be chippy. I give FAU the edge in talent, but FIU has nothing to lose and might play with a fresh motivation after the firing of Turner. one thing is pretty certain about this game. The loser will likely continue to struggle the remainder of the season.

FIU has not scored more than 14 points in any game this season. FAU averages just over 20 points per game. Based on that and the edge in talent going to FAU, I like the Owls in this one.

FAU offense puts up 38 and the defense allows 24 points.

Prepare to be thrilled by our Offense and frustrated with the Defense.

Go Owls.

We lose again 27-14. We think we have all these winnable games upcoming, but the problem is we are the winnable game to these teams too.

Turnovers, and not being able to stop Alex Gardner. Prediction FIU has 200 yards rushing

The definition of "what a shame". When I google map directions  from my house to FIU, see the travel time as 1 hour 23 minutes , then decide that's too far. If we were a winning team , I would be there. Sorry.

Yeah it's a PITA to get down there and the stadium is pretty underwhelming but I'm glad to see that FAU is bussing down students for it. Our student section has been very vocal and a definite highlight of this season so far.
