Have you ever wondered what it is like to play quarterback in college football? We may not ever get a chance to see a true first-person point of view any time too soon in a real game, but Florida Atlantic gave us a new view during their spring game recently.

There was not one game that Wilbert threw over 220 yards (219 season high). There was only one game where Wilbert had more touchdowns than interceptions…and they didn’t even win that game. With the hel... read more...

I am doing my best Larry Munson impression today. I'm worried about the Florida Atlantic Owls. No, I do not think that the Owls will squeak out a win against the Bulldogs, but I do think the Dawgs will be flat, uninspired and will make this game a lot more interesting than it should be. Remembering Louisiana-Monroe, Appalachian State and others: Dawgs 42 - Owls 24 What ... read more...

Florida Atlantic does not go down in history as another shutout victim of the Alabama defense. The Owls got a touchdown with 2:49 to play at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday, the first score against the Crimson Tide since the opening game.
