Our Achilles heel is the deep pass…period.

Didn't we learn enough from the Marshall game??

ODU had no one to throw the ball…so we didn't see it last week, but WKU will continue to wax us on it today if we don't stop playing the way we are.

Three FAU plays.

Three heavy QB pressures.

Three incompletions.

Owls are forced to punt after their second straight three-and-out.

Well if they can't hold them on this drive where they are starting at the 2…..

Hayball is the MVP of this game thus far.

Matt Hayball comes on to punt the ball back to #WKU..

And he BLASTS the ball back to Australia!

Well, not quite. But the ball is downed on the WKU 2 yard line for a career & #FAU record 77 yard punt!

What a miscalculation by me. I thought our defense was going to play well today and WKU wouldn’t move the ball on us. 

That's so annoying. Jackson gives the 'Tops a new set of downs because nobody bothered to be within five yards of him.

Lucky Jackson is left wide open on 3rd & long. He bobbles the ball MULTIPLE times, but ends up hauling it in for a new set of downs.

He now has over 100 yards in the first quarter alone.

We're through the first 15 minutes. And it wasn't pretty. Still early enough to turn things around!

End of the First Quarter. #WKU 14 - #FAU 0.

Hilltoppers have 151 yards, with 107 coming from WR Lucky Jackson.

Owls only have 40 yards, all but one coming from the air.

HUGE sack from Leroy gives the Owls defense a push to stand strong, forcing a WKU punt!

Keke Leroy with HUGE sack on Storey!

Owls have played decent defensively. Just need to contain Jackson and stop third down conversions.

Now this is the FAU  I remember

Can't pass when you're on your back…better to just do that then keep trying to play from the secondary.
