  1. Hi guys. I'm an FAU person here. This is a really exciting matchup for me. When I was deciding on which college to go to, Akron and FAU were very high on my top college list. I fell in love with the Akron campus when I visited - it really does look beautiful. And you guys have some really awesome undergrads. I'm hoping this game will be a close one til the end. A nail biter would be awesome.
  2. Hi. FAU person here. So yes we lost to Buffalo. But I don't think that loss defines our team at all. Lane kiffin brought in a bunch of transfers and changed up many of the offensive and defense schemes at the beginning of the season. We were also trying to find a quarterback who could lead our offense. And in addition, we put in a new safety this year, so we had a bunch of high snaps early in the season that lost us many yards. We've been a different team once everyone started getting in the zone. I seriously doubt we would lose to Buffalo if we played them today.
  3. Hi guys. I'm an FAU fan that's watched all of our games and seen the progression of our team through the season. This is correct in that our running game is substantially better than our passing game. Some teams have tried to shutdown our run by adding an extra safety but it hasn't really worked yet. I think lane understands this so we've been emphazing our passing game all season. And I would agree that we do still lean on our running game, but every week our passing game continues to make huge strides. I think that article is from early November? But since then our passing game has improved dramatically. We don't make many passing plays, maybe 20 the whole game, but our completion rate in November has been 80% or higher. We also rarely throw interceptions - Just four the entire season. Our tempo is killer. We move way faster than the chain crew (they usually run to catch up). This one time we ran 4-5 plays and scored in less than 30 seconds, just imagine how fast we are. And I think what makes it so hard is our offense has a lot of moving parts and trick plays. I think a good way to watch that offense is to look at our conference championship game last week.
