GAME THREAD: Wagner @ FAU - September 21, 2019

Add topic

Post

Antoine is now having a ridiculous night.

IF we can bring both Bryant and Mitchell back for the UNCC C-USA opener, we may have a good buffet of receivers to keep things interesting…

Five targets will spread the defense's we face out nicely…and hopefully open up the running lanes a bit more too.

Fifteen minutes to go from Howard Schnellenberger Field. Owls are lead 35-7, with Antoine responsible for 28 of those FAU points.

I think the lack of a run game has been a choice…we aren't going to load the film up on stuff someone can use against us with conference action coming up. Put out there what you have to put out there…

Against an outmatched FCS team, your regular run up the middle plays should result in more than 31 yards rushing at the end of the 3rd quarter (and there have been numerous times where Robison has to run for his life).  Honestly, the up the middle runs look just like the plays used against UCF 2 weeks ago, and they have ended up with about the same results.  The difference in this game is FAU has superior athletes so Wagner struggles on offense and can’t contain the Owl’s receivers.

In a game where the team is winning by 28 points and have outgained the opposition more than 2.5-to-1, it still doesn’t feel real good.  Maybe Lane is “saving” all his plays for later, but I agree with the other poster last week seemed like a better performance than this week.

Yeah I looked up and saw 31 yds rushing total after the 3rd qtr, and just smh.  That erases any positives from this game.
