The Florida Atlantic University football team returned to the practice field behind the Tom Oxley Center a day after scrimmaging in front of a crowd at Fanfest.
An extended amount of time was spent on special team drills. Kickoff and punt coverage and blocking were emphasized as kicker Warley Leroy and punter Mickey Groody were able to practice with full pressure. A number of players also were able to field kickoffs and punts as FAU looks to sort through the stable of talented returners. FAU also practiced pass coverage in 7 on 7 drills. Senior linebacker George Allen was able to rip away a ball from a receiver in mid-air to record an interception. FAU will conduct three practices tomorrow.

The Owls begin their home schedule against the University of Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday, September 6 at 4 p.m. at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
