Official Score Prediction Thread FAU

I was at the Arizona vs UTSA game last night

UTSA ws the better team. They lost because of mistakes.

Az will have a bad season. They gave up over 500 yards to a so called inferior team.

UTSA will be a B12 school before its all said and done..

Too bad our administration couldn't see past Larry Coker's age when they hired Keith Burns.. The man is WAY too old to relate to todays FB players...

TU - 34
FAU - 21

Dane gets 300+ and we have at least one 100+ receiver. This is going to be fast paced football. PM wants to run 85 plays a game. That's about 20 more than what we are used to from the previous four seasons. Hopefully the referees won't slow us down.

FIU beat UCF tonight in Orlando and FAU is in much better shape as a program than FIU.

TU 42
FAU 38.

Flip the score if it was being played in Boca.

I'll take a bow for being closer than most ...

Referees didn't slow us down, the unusual amount of cramping for a team that is from basically, Miami, suffered. Geesh, doesn't their training staff do anything with conditioning and hydration for the heat and humidity?

As I posted elsewhere, it's a different kind of heat, even somewhat different than Miami. They have the sea breeze. There is a reason the average age of the population is 78 or whatever.

There is cloud cover early in the morning and again mid afternoon each day, when practices typically take place. Florida is pretty agressive about hydration breaks and shortened practices at the high school level, much more than anything I've seen at the 6A level in OK in September. So while FAU may have been well prepped to play in 88 degree heat, they rarely see conditions where it's 98 outside and 120 on the field, while the opposing team is snapping the ball as quickly as humanly possible.

Some of the injuries were clearly simulation. But the heat and conditions on the field was enough extra stress to affect performance. Living in Florida doesn't prep you for OK/TX heat, the only benefit to the weather here is that you can train year around out of doors.
