Found this, thought I'd share.

Great video is it not! Hope the game is even close to this hype video!

This guy is a new contributor to OUInsider(247sports), but he's not new at what he does.

This video is about FAU, thought you'd all enjoy it. And no, he doesn't trash FAU. If anything he talks well of Kiffin and Charlie Weiss Jr.

That WAS a really good video - thanks so much for sharing it!

One clarification from the video - I know Wisconsin didn't make it into the playoffs last year, but they were not too far off and FAU did play there (and played fairly well considering how early it was in the year/this new coaching regime/the fact the kids had lots of unknowns with the hurricane).  Thr guy kind of intimated that FAU hasn't been in such an environment.

I am not in anyway saying I am picking FAU to win this game, but I am saying the level of talent, the kids on the team who have come from "big programs, the coaching staff, etc. should lead to the Owls not being scared or unprepared for the moment.  It may be a 21 point or more blowout, but that will be because OU is flat out better and not because of an intimidation factor.

Agree. Wisconsin is upper echelon football.  I will also say…if Driskell had started that game, it would have ended differently.  Not saying we would have won.  However, it would have come down to the last few possessions and Wisky would have had their hands full.

That RB they have, Taylor, is no joke.

I don't think you'll have to worry about OU overlooking FAU. OU understands what Kiffin has done. OU fans, for the most part, aren't taking FAU lightly either after hearing how much OU players have been paying attention to FAU and what they've done. Yes, they(fans) think OU will win, but they don't think it's going to necessarily be easy.

My wife wanted to start a new tradition this year. Get a family BBQ going for opening weekend for OU football. Kind of neat as I'll always remember FAU for this, if for no other reason. Here's to traditions!

Probably bodes well for CWJr. Riley has always been known for being able to remember plays he called in certain situations in years past. He was tested on radio show one day and he had no problems. It was impressive his memory recall and football IQ. And these were plays at ECU/TTech(as a player), etc.

Rick, do you guys have a link to post info/links during game week? Was just thinking I'd watch for stuff OU posts and share with you all. But you also seem to be a stickler for staying on topic, etc.
