This season has been the boy who cried Wolf. I’ll be interested if they get to kickoff. If they don’t play, I have Ole Miss and Northwestern (John Raine!) to watch and be invested in.Posted On: Oct 20th 2020, 5:46 PM #396846

I noticed that Meiko Dotson was playing a lot in the 2nd half of the win against NC.
I wouldn’t be that surprised if we put up a fight. There are some positives. We came really close to outscoring Charlotte 28-0 in the 2nd half. The team gelled.
Also, the last 3 years we have come on strong from around this time in late October to play great football. Even in 2018 the losses after mid October were very close. Even with the lack of games they’re still practicing and getting better and better. I wouldn’t be surprised if we played well.Posted On: Oct 20th 2020, 6:04 PM #396847
As disgusted I was in our first half performance against Charlotte, I totally agree with you.

Seems like very little interest in the game.Posted On: Oct 20th 2020, 5:43 PM #396845
That's because we're going to lose by 30 and it won't be Willie T's fault…….
However, I hope I'm wrong.

Agreed – but things have been so tumultuous and Marshall is such a heavy favorite, low expectations are probably to be expected. I personally am just happy to have a game and if they lose (even big) I probably won't lose sleep.
I think the biggest barometer coming out of the game will be how we rebound the next week.
That will say a lot about where this team is headed this year and next.
Yes, they have talent but FAU has talent too and we have been recruiting better than Marshall.
If we lose, so be it but I want to see an FAU team fighting.
Go owls!
About the game against Marshall, there’s good things about having a great O Line. I think we should have a good yards per carry again. If Tronti can find the open man in the passing game and run too, I think we can do well. So the O Line is fantastic for what it’s worth. And the D Line has great coaching and played great against Charlotte
UPDATE: #FAU spokesperson said the latest round of COVID testing “went well.” @CoachTaggart adds that there WILL be enough players available to play #Marshall on Saturday.
