Florida Atlantic Owls

Preview 2007

By Pete Fiutak

Not enough was made about the job Howard Schnellenberger did last year winning five games with a team full of new starters and with the nation’s most brutal schedule to start the season with five straight road games. Now the sky’s the limit.

Call 2006 the type of stepping-stone season needed to be taken so the program can take a giant leap this year. With as much returning experience as anyone in America, and even a little bit of depth to rely on to create competition for several positions, FAU could be the Sun Belt’s biggest surprise.

The Owls were rarely pretty, but they were able to go 5-3 down the stretch with two of the losses coming by seven against Troy and six to UL Lafayette to show just how competitive the team could be. Now it’s time to make some real noise in the Sun Belt.

Anyone notice this little tidbit?

Defensively, FAU played a suffocating pass defense, but it helped that no one in the Sun Belt could throw. Expect more of the same with three starters returning to the secondary and with the league’s air attacks not appearing to be any better.

So our air attack won't be better? And FAU sure put a hurtin' on us last year by a whopping 17-16.
