Shula Bowl XVIII is Big Game for FAU Football, Striving to go 1-0 again this Week

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University football team (6-3, 4-1 Conference USA) works each week to go 1-0. This week, there is added weight to the game because it is the 18th Annual Shula and a rivalry game, but the goal remains: Beat FIU (5-4, 3-3 C-USA) and finish this week 1-0.

The game is designated as the Shula Bowl after legendary coach Don Shula, who coached with FAU's inaugural head football coach Howard Schnellenberger (his offensive coordinator) at the Miami Dolphins and coached FIU's founding head coach Don Strock (as a player), also with the Dolphins. FAU holds the series mark at 12-4.
