Win Owls!!!

Final analysis:

Defense played great. They were on the field too long.

Offense needs work on passing and communication.

Special team needs work.

All very correctable.

Nice win.


Holley has season ending knee injury!! :(

Big win. Really a must win given the OOC slate and the conference schedule.

This sets up nicely for a conference championship showdown against Troy. But this team can't afford to take a single conference game lightly.

Good win! MTSU is one of the top tier Sun Belt teams and FAU was in control most of the game. Looking good.

411 offensive yards MTSU 216 yards

One question for those that were at the game.

What in the he!! happened on the shovel pass that MTSU scored on? Listening on the internet, it was a busted play. The MTSU QB was falling down on the pass.

Good game all around. It was great to get this one against MTSU after dropping the pasr 2 games to them. The defense was dominating and the offense did enough to get the job done. The passing game wasn't sharp at the start, but the offensive line was fantastic against a pretty good defensive line. I know they really wanted to focus on the run and they did just that. All three RBs ran well, as did Willie Rose, who did his best Aaron Sanchez impression. The passing game started slowly, and there were a few easy drops but Rusty played well in the 2nd half and managed the game well. No INTs was a very good sign. The passing game will get into a better rhythm as the season goes on. Harmon is a beast….the 2nd coming of ACH?? The kicking game needs work. All of the mistakes are correctable though, as illinois pointed out.

As for the attendance…just over 11,300. Some may be disappointed, but not me. Having been at games with 2,000 or so people at Lockhart, it was a huge improvement. Good student turn out too. It's definately a step in the right direction. More and more students are showing up….and this is playing 20 minutes from campus. Just more proof why we need to get the stadium built!!

That shovel pass looked like he was infront of the line of scrimage but i could have been wrong seeing i was in the endzone.

Great game but Rusty Smith still needs work on completing his passes. Sometimes the ball would sail to an area where the nearest FAU player was 50 feet away… just out in the middle of nowhere…

It seemed like we were inching our way up the field at times.

Regardless, our defense was amazing. MTSU couldn't even talk a breath without us having two guys on top of them. I hope they'll have the same success at all our tough games – especially Minnesota, USF, Florida and Troy.

Thanks Blue

The raiders had their biggest plays on two busted plays and one was that shovel pass - it appears to me that the Defense went into that prevent-defensive scheme at the end and allowed the Raiders to move the ball way to easy. I hate the prevent defense, the defense played way to good to turn around and let the raiders accumulate all that extra yardage at the end.

Great win and a very good way to start a season.
