With Stockstill looking like he will be out, and possibly Richie James. If FAU can find some efficiency in the passing game they can win this game. I hope we run the ball around a 70% of the time. Defense took a step back last week especially on 3rd down, and making splash plays.
I will probably regret this, but I think FAU ends the streak!
FAU 34 MTSU 30

It's going to be needed this week because MTSU is the best run defense in the conference.
If Parr is selected as the quarterback, we win. If he is not, we lose.

We have an identity, we're a run first team that should start Parr to keep the defense honest with long passes that add a quick strike option.

What has Parr done to show he's any different than driskle?
Two passes to wide open guys?
Like I said in the podcast (which should be posted somtime)
Parr completed 4 passes beyond the LOS vs Bethune. The interception he threw before half was an ugly miss read. He is a bit shorter and from watching practically on field level he has trouble making the 7-15 yard passes over the middle getting it over big linemen.
Driskle had some moments last year and Parr a couple this year. They are both below average and we shouldn't be winning or losing games based on who starts between them.
The running game and D will decide if we win.

At least Parr has hit the down field passes. Driskel wasn’t coming close to the wide open guys down the field.
But in general they both haven’t been impressive. Just need to run the ball and no turnovers from the qb

What DeltAlumnus said…
To add: Driskel.
Podcast talk is fine, but this is a prediction thread…and your salt is produced by prognostication!
So, what's your p-r-e-d-i-c-t-i-o-n?

We need to run the ball!!!!

FAU can EASILY win this game with either QB.
FAU 31 - MTSU 17
However, The Blue Raiders won't be our biggest enemy this weekend. Weather delays will be expected. With that said:
Weather delay will add 14 points to MTSU score and we head to OT. I'm gonna bank on this coaching staff to pull thru by 3 at end of regulation or by 6 in OT.

Prediction wise I'm gonna go with another last minute MTSU nailbiter, but with FAU grabbing the hail mary pass this time.
FAU 30, MTSU 24
Since its probably going to be wet has anyone checked to make sure we have enough footballs?
FAU - We got Bowls!
