BOCA RATON, Fla. - The excitement has turned to grind as the Florida Atlantic University football team complete practice No. 17 under a bright blue sky and humidity in the high 50's. The Owls continued to hone their skills, battle through fatigue and compete, with the 2017 season and home opener versus Navy just 16 days away.
Head Coach Lane Kiffin
Following Tuesday's Practice
"Today was kind of similar to yesterday. There were some good things. Some good situational work, again too many turnovers. Now we are back to having snap issues, which I thought we had kind of eliminated. We have to get that corrected. Working on that right now out there to get it fixed. We are just pushing through at this time of year where practices start to run together a little bit. We are looking for the special guys that come out and compete every day and want to battle. It is easy the first couple of days, but where are you now?"
