I know its early, but I just want to see what everyone else thinks...

What is your gut feeling about where our program is, heading into next year?

I only see a couple of losses on the schedule....big turnaround ahead...
We are going to shock alot of teams on the schedule and make a bowl game...
If some young guys step up, we could go over .500...
Not a whole lot better, but young with potential and fun to watch...
We're living in fantasyland...the teams on our schedule are going to crush us...

You must select between 1 and 64 options

6 or 7 wins are possible and even though we are going into CUSA.

Only East Carolina is a "sure" loss there. We "could" go 6-2 in CUSA play.


ECU is not a "sure" loss.  I know the team pretty well and they have issues.  They have no defense and very iffy in the QB position.  These comparisons are never great but look at the Navy game, they got blown out and we had a legit chance to win that game.

They will definitely be favored and there will be 60K+ loud fans in attendance but we will hang in that game.

GO OWLS!

Well I did put the "sure" in quotations as with this team no game is a given either way at this point. But I sure do hope you are right! Go Owls! I do't think any team we play this upcoming season is any better than Louisiana layfayette or Arky St. last year in the Belt! But I sure am glad we miss Tulsa and La. Tech!

Hey Mom …. good to hear from you. This year was a big recruiting year but I believe the trend really started quietly last year when Adrian and Crevon both came to FAU. Crevon was able to play and showed what he is made of and I can't wait to get Adrian out there. This team is finally packed full of athletes. With some bigger bodies on the D line , our LB's and DB's  will be able to run wild next year.  IF,IF,IF we can find the right QB to run this offense, we should be fine. I believe we have good enough QB's on the team, I just don't know who will stand out and be the leader. Don't rule out the newbies. Hankerson, DJ,these guys know the game. They only need to get use to the speed of college football. PS… on a different note, my sixteen year old baby girl is starting FAU in MAY. Now she wants to sit in the student section.?????

After watching the videos fausports.com had posted, I may consider changing my vote to an A.

Some of these players are realllllly good & can play big time.

It is funny, we used to get maybe one player to get excited about in a given recruiting cycle. Every single one of these players excites me & has that kind of potential to be all C-USA.

QB Play will definetly be the deciding factor this year.  Also, like others have said this is the year that we will see what Coach Pelini's game plan really looks like.  He should have a team full of "his" players and I'm looking forward to seeing a more opened up offense. 

FAU - We got Bowls!

Thanks Local Owl and congrats on that baby girl becoming an official Owl. Now about that student section….LOL.  I know the team is really working hard to come back better and I have faith in the coaching staff overall.  Adrian is doing really well and should hit the field at 100%.  I am praying that he is fully released for spring ball.  I can tell you, that the training staff is working to get him there and I am pleased with his progress.  I am so looking forward to tailgating and having fun this year, with him on the field.

, I am sure they probably didn't even put Graham in a position to read on those run plays and it was probably a called handoff.

You're right…I think they called a keeper maybe 3 times…I think one maybe got 2-3 yrds

He got a few big gains in the run game. I remember he had a few against WKU
