BOCA RATON, FL - Florida Atlantic University's football team had a positive day of work and drew praise from Head Coach Howard Schnellenberger.
"The offense had a better day," said Schnellenberger. "I think they were more relaxed. There is enough talent there to be competitive. The defense continues to improve, but I was really pleased with the quarterbacks."
The day began as scheduled with kick-off coverage and then moved into individual work. By the time seven-on-seven rolled around the offense was ready to go and they kicked it off with David Kooi connecting with newcomer Marcus Cunningham, a play that drew praise from Darryl Jackson, FAU's offensive coordinator, for the decision making. The duo followed it up on the next play. Graham Wilbert used his snaps to connect with Nexon Dorvilus. Things didn't go as smoothly for newcomer Steven Curtis who ran up against the defensive one's and had a pass intercepted by senior linebacker Malik Eugene.
Alfred Morris, FAU's leading rush returner, began team drills with a long run. Avery Holley also returned to full action and took a big hit from Derek King following a catch. Willie Floyd got the yards back on a 20 yard run.
FAU's preseason practice work will continue on Tuesday, beginning at 8 a.m., followed by 10:30 and the final practice will begin at 4:30 p.m. All practices are free and open to the public.
