We waited 11 years, for THIS?

Another vote for more tailgating time! We were the first cars lined up for the yellow lot and we had to wait until 12 on the dot before we were allowed in, it sucks.

To be honest, we got there at 11:15 and left at around 8:30…nobody stopped us from coming in or staying late. FAU cops passed a few times and waved, never kicked us out. We even parked in the PBCC lot (green) next to the stadium and behind the innovation student housing building.

Had a great time Tailgating and the Stadium looked great.  But don't think I've ever seen a worst FAU team on the field like I did last night.
How can you have more dumb uncalled for penalties than first downs.  We had like 8 penalties to 6 first downs for the whole game.

I hope I never see this performance at home again.  There hopefully only one way to go, and that is up.  Been following the program since the start and will continue to the end but, we can't have a repeat this next week on National Tv.  Even if we lose we have to perform better that this.  Lets Go Owls!!

This team obviously doesn't have talent, this is where the o-coordinator needs to dig deep and come up with deception plays, misdirection, ect.  Problem is I have less faith in the O-coordinator than the O-line….  3rd and 14 and we run the ball every time…..

The only thing I can figure out is that they have no faith that the QB to make a complete pass in that situation so they figure even if Morris picks up 3-4 yards, that's 3-4 yards farther that they'll be able to punt from.

This is true, and they may be right.  I think with a different offense and Qb it would have been a pretty decent season and we could have pulled a win at the Auburn game.  The defense must be getting upset with the offense.

I'm still questioning why we have never lined up in a "wildcat" package.

The past three seasons of college football, the golden rule has been if your offense is slacking, line your RB up at QB and run for a first down.

The fact that it's been addressed by the media and players a few times means there has to be something there…football is one of the few sports where there are two teams in the same uniforms on the sidelines, I can understand why the defense would be frustrated, they're keeping the team in the game but the O is useless. I'd be pissed too!

They barely have enough time to take a swig of Gatorade and they are back out on the field….

Great conditioning for all the wrong reasons.

Still, if the time of possessions are about the same, as they have been occasionally this season, then our D isn't out there any longer than the other team's D.

We usually break down somewhere in the 3rd and 4th Q. If we had a better O, we could play all 4 quarters with excellent results and have a higher national rating.

"a higher national rating"? that's what you care about here? How about a win?
