I'm wondering what the reasoning is behind the conclusion that we should be favorites. We're on the road against one of the conferences best teams. We have crippling issues with our OL (which no one seems to want to address, instead focusing on other "issues" that aren't there), that are so bad that teams pretty much key in on our RG. So we can't run, evidenced by the face we had 130 rushing yards going into the 4th quarter last week. We may or may not be able to pass. These upcoming road games are not particularly intriguing from an FAU fan's perspective.Posted On: Oct 14th 2018, 7:21 PM #381947
1. I’m certain you have not watched game flim or talked to someone who has to determine this so you are just speaking from your a**.
2. You say we had only 130 yards going into the 4th.
Well there are some major issue with that stat that don’t back up your lame dumb argument.
A. We had over 300 yards passing at that point. B. We we had a KO for TD which takes a full drive of stats away.
C. If you go to last year most of Motors big runs are late when teams where are wore down. It’s literally football 101 at a level. Keep running pounding away and you will snap a big one late.
Please stop you are an embarrassment to football talk.

1.We here can’t do anything about it.
2. If our Oline was crippling as you say do you think Lane wouldn’t address if we could?
Yea, we have a 5 star just sitting on the sideline and Lane just like “F it I don’t want to address it.”

I have one question. Are you implying that Riles has been a quality offensive lineman for us?
To address you're 2nd question. Lane is addressing the obvious issue, because he benched Riles for 3 possessions last game (Weber replaced him and we scored td's on all 3 drives) including one in the 4th quarter after they cut the lead to 5. Now, Lane, if asked, might say it's because Riles is a senior and he wants to give Weber playing time for next season. But obviously, it's because Riles has underperformed. The problem is that, 3 series of Weber in for Riles is not enough at Marshall, at FIU, and at North Texas. The only reason we're even dogs is because of Riles.
