Florida Atlantic QB wears helmet cam for spring game
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.
Florida Atlantic placed a Go-Pro camera on top of quarterback Melvin German III's helmet for the recent spring game...

Florida Atlantic to play in “the Rock”
The Florida Atlantic University Owls are slowly building something down in Boca Raton, Florida. The program is only 10 years old, and in that time they have moved into FCS, built a stadium, became the earliest team to play in bowl game and produced NFL players like Rusty Smith and this years All-Pro RB Alfred Morris. Not bad for a commuter school. They are leaving the Sun Belt and...
FAU 83, Warner 50
Greg Gantt scored 19 points and Florida Atlantic played stifling defense, defeating NAIA opponent Warner 83-50 Sunday in a nonconference matchup.

Tide Settles For 40-7 Win Over Owls
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. But it was, as they say, too little, too late, so if not a shut-out victim, FAU at least was a victim.

Spotted Owl Is Tasty
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

FAU football players may be Aquamen
Florida Atlantic OWLS played this video on Friday night at their season opener, and there are some interesting things to notice.
1. Owls originate from the ocean … I did not know this
2. They practice on the beach … solid calf workout right there
3. Catching footballs while diving into water may date back to the beginning of time … done
4. FAU may want to consider...

The Worst Quarterback Of NCAA Football 2011
Graham Wilbert is a Junior at Florida Atlantic, he is 21 years old, stands 6ft 6in, weighs in at 225, and was unfortunately the worst college quarterback of the 2011 season. 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 help of...

W. Kentucky 20, FAU 0
Bobby Rainey rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns Saturday and Western Kentucky played the role of spoiler by winning the first game in Florida Atlantic's new on-campus stadium, 20-0.
The game drew a near-sellout crowd in the 30,000-seat, $70 million stadium, but the winless Owls' offense gave fans little to cheer about. Florida Atlantic (0-6, 0-3 Sun Belt Conference...
