Here's the updated list on all the players that have opted out this season.

Most notable is the fact hat FAU now only has three quarterbacks on scholarship available to play: Posey, Tronti, Taggart Jr.

So FAU is down to two or three active QBs, depending on what the plan is with Bus…AKA Willie Taggart Jr. 

The fun never stops.

What was the story on Young? I thought he looked pretty good out there.

No clue. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see more kids opt out across the country within the next seven days. Classes don’t come back for many schools until the new year and some guys may want to play it safe as cases skyrocket. Plus, the draft. 

That is not to say that is why AY opted out. The potential for more opt outs is just something on my mind.

It’d be a pretty bad situation if it came to this but wasn’t Yanez Rogers a QB at Ely? 

Also, MTSU scored 1000 against us once with a WR at QB the whole game

He did, you’re right. 

Reese from The Post reported WTJR is now playing WR again because that unit has been hit hard. So FAU is down to two active QBs. 

More reason to add a transfer or two in the signing class. Littlejohn is playing WR and I genuinely don’t know where Agner slots into next year’s plans if he chooses to come back with the waiver. 

I know Taggart has said he views his son as a QB and the son sees himself as a QB, so that’s worth watching. It’s not unheard of for a QB to play a couple years at WR, then move back and have success. D’Eriq King did it at Houston.

They need to be ready that long touchdown they gave up against FIU was not good.

Aaron Young snaps have slowly decreased all season.

Longtime Owl Brandon Robison snaps have been increasing opposite Chase.

BJ Alexander has been in that spot as well.

I didn't know about the snap counts but I have noticed  Brandon s  name mentioned more and more. Good for him. He is working hard

We're about 30 minutes away from kickoff in Boca. Looks like we may finally get a game without rain!

How do y'all like this uniform combo? My only complaint is this silver numbers, but y'all know I'm picky like that.
