USF may be the best team in Florida this year.  The defense is good, the offense is mediocre at best.  A couple of turnovers or USF's "b" game will definitely give FAU a chance.

With a coach like Schnellenberger you always have a chance.


Smart post.  You're right.

Keep up the good work FAU, and look forward to a great game.    By the way, how many students at FAU?

There are about 26000 students at FAU.

Re: Pre-Game Thoughts - FAU vs USF

I love that USF is doing well in such a short period of time.  Hopefully FAU will follow suit.  However, they are not better than Florida…its not even close.  I swear if by some miracle they end up playing each other in a BCS bowl I will bet 1K on UF no matter the spread and post a print screen of my bet on a thread.  USF is too one dimensional to beat UF, and I appreciate how good that one dimension is (as I am probably looking at a total of 40 rushing yards this week). 

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I would put $ on UF, FSU and Miami to beat USF this year. I even have $ on FAU this week… Yes i took the points…

The top schools have the best players hands down, bigger, stronger and faster and they have 3 deep in every position.. Upsets happen, USF should be very aware of this – they just upset WVU… I am sure that the usf guys are a little worried about some of the upcoming Big East Games, they cant think the have it won already with 1 BE win…

Go Owls…

You got that right.  When you pencil in 8-4 at the beginning of the season, you won't feel "good" until every game is over.  Especially when some of those Ws were "I bet we drop one we shouldn't" type of things as we've done in the past to Uconn, Kansas etc.

We're FAR from wrapping anything up, just one BIG hurdle down.  The best part is the POTENTIAL of this squad.  We weren't supposed to have a season like this until next year or the year after so this is alot of fun.

Here's the thing, was the win over WV that big of a surprise? USF won on the road last year with a less talented team than they have this year. Everyone acts like they pulled a complete upset. It might have been an upset, but it was a very predictable upset. I picked USF to upset Auburn so I wasn't surprised by that one either. With Louisville stinking it up and Rutgers looking less competetive than last year this should be USF's year. I don't see the success as that big of a surprise. I expected USF to have a big year and they are doing just that.

Re: Pre-Game Thoughts - FAU vs USF

Thanks Owlfan, but having watched us be absolutely futile on offense last year for entire games and seeing traits of that this year, I wish I could be more confident THIS YEAR.  NExt year?  I'd be surprised if we didn't win the Big East.  This year?  I think it's going to come down to tie breakers.  I hope it doesn't, but it wouldn't surprise me if a 2 loss team wins the Big East.  But, if you were to give me 10-2 at the start of the year?  I would've taken it in a heart beat.  Especially if the two losses were to highly ranked teams.  The problem is, some of these other Big East teams are losing to folks they have no business losing to which means we've got to be perfect and even then we may not be taken too seriously unless Auburn really makes some noise.

10-2 wouldn't surprise me. The scary thing would be if USF goes 11-1 or 12-0, both of which are legitimate possibilities. If the offense can pick up some steam this team could be dangerous down the stretch. The wildcards in the BIG EAST are Cincinnati and UConn. I don't know what to think of them. It will be more clear after another couple of weeks.
