FAU - Boca Raton Bowl

[MrStrange18]

Game just started, but Akron had a nice stop. 

What do you want more? A CUSA win, or see the Lane Train get whipped?

[drex]

What's best for the conference.  What would be best for the conference?  Who knows.

[Rudy]

The better the conference does in the bowls, the more likely we get better TV deals.

[DeepGreen]

FAU is playing dirty football.

[RBP79]

That's FAU football! I hate having to want them to win.

[Mean Green Matt]

I don't think there's any question that we need to root for FAU. Having our conference champion lose to Akron wouldn't be helpful. 

[DeepGreen]

Kiffin has the Owls in a different gear now.  I can see why we were curb stomped twice.  I think FAU will beat the Zips by 40+ points.

better game would have been troy vs fau

[TheColonyEagle]

Their offense is unstoppable when they get in that gear

And remember, this is the same Akron defense that held Troy to 22.

FAU may be in the New Years 6 bowl next year. 

Unlike fake UT, they really could go undefeated next year. 

Edit: they open at OU

Baker Mayfield will be gone. Could be interesting.

FAU has such an impressive offensive line. No mistakes so far that I can think of.

[LongJim]

FAU is very fast and very physical.  They are also intimidating the Zips.  Akron has no answer.

Kalib Woods looks like a HS player playing against peewee

Also, these announcers must have been hired as recruiters for FAU.

ESPN has a big ole slobbering love affair with Lane Kiffin.

I didn't say he was a nice young man. 

He's just bigger and faster than everyone on the field.

FAU must be proud to have this jackass representing their program on National TV

They are getting rid of the ball fast.  The line hasn't been required to block for more than 3 seconds on a lot of plays.  Its quick reads and they move that QB around.  He's not a sitting duck.  We really should take some notes.

Literally just tuned in at the start of the 4th, and here we are.

Yep. Switch the opponents for closer and more interesting games. It would probably be FAU by 13 and us by 6 in the final scores.

I was thinking the same. The announcers were talking about that being a rough start and I was like...for who? If FAU is this good next year and OU doesn't have Mayfields replacement rolling on day 1..expect the biggest upset of the year in week 1.

[TheColonyEagle]

That crowd. Ugh. 

[TheColonyEagle]

I didn't know Singletary had offers from FSU and Miami

I don't even know what to say
