BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Florida Atlantic University football team completed practice No. 8 Thursday morning, marking the conclusion of the first full week of preseason camp.
With the helmet acclamation complete, the first day in pads complete, the first day in full pads complete and the first two-a-day under their belts, the Owls are now in a rhythm.
The Owls moved through their team drills earlier in practice than in previous days and finished the day much like the others with a pressure contest.
Junior running back Jeremy Gaskins was the first to receive praise for his ability to break free on a 15-yard gain. Senior Martese Jackson broke at least three tackles running straight up the middle for a 20-yard gain. The passing game saw junior Jaquez Johnson hit Marcus Cunningham twice for big yards and also find Alex Deleonfor a score.
FAU football will open the 2014 season on Saturday, Aug. 30 at the University of Nebraska, with the game broadcast on the Big Ten Network. The Owls home season will kick-off on Saturday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. versus Tulsa at FAU Stadium, which will be televised by Fox College Sports.
