BTW the Thursday night NFL game on 11/21 is Browns-Broncos, so you can watch Harrison Bryant 𝓪𝓷𝓭 Logan Peterson if you have two screens. Go HB.

*I don’t know if this has ever happened at FAU before or how often it occurs in college, but it’d be cool to see FAU honor Trickett during a timeout or something. Say what you want about the offense last year (and he became the scapegoat) but you don’t win two titles without him.

I agree, Law. If FAU hangs in there over the first two months, the Clint Trickett Bowl* may even decide if FAU goes bowling or not. Marshall will be interesting because they always have the talent but collapse down the stretch. Maybe Huff will fix that by bringing in that Saban culture and system.

I agree. Clint was a very under appreciated piece during the last few years.
With regard to the schedule, which I looked at and analyzed while waiting in Zoom Court for my client’s case to be called today, I think it’s going to be a struggle early and would not be surprised in the least if we start 1-3 heading into conference play. The ghost of Pat Chun continues to haunt us one last year.
My way too early prediction for this upcoming season is a ceiling of 8-4 and a floor of 6-6. We probably make a bowl game but not the conference championship. We have a stretch in the middle of the season where we play the likes of ODU, UTEP, Charlotte and what I believe to be a down and rebuilding Marshall squad (which we almost beat with practice squad guys last year. Also, Grant Wells was heavily exposed towards the end.) During that stretch, I think our season’s outcome will be very telling. If we go on a win streak there we could salvage what could be a slow start to the season. At UAB will be tough and then at very cold WKU in November will be tough as well. I like our chances for an eight win season if we can at least win one of those games. Luckily for us, C-USA is weak… again.
However, it’s totally possible we end up in the conference championship game at 8-4 (7-1). Perry will be the starter at first but it wouldn’t surprise me to see MJJ take over later in the season. I still love the upside of Posey although I’m probably the last one on that train.
What do you all think? Time for WAY too early season predictions!

FAU-UF on Saturday, Sept. 4 is a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on the SEC Network. We can't use the Ole Miss game as a diversion – they play that Monday (Sept. 6).Posted On: May 27th 2021, 3:05 PM #402267
Hoping for an upset!

I have a friend who is a Gatorland alumni who wants me to go to the game with his group.
In Brevard county where I live most of the Gatorland fans never went to school there with no ties to the university but act as if they did.
I don’t know if I want to deal with that scenario plus have to stay two nights up there
as the hotels require a two night reservation during football season. 🙄
