BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic's football had another morning session in 90-degree heat, with warnings for feels-like temperatures between 105-110 degrees. Despite the steamy conditions, the two-deep is becoming clearer.
The practice face was much like it always appears, but the day certainly wasn't. Like Tuesday's practice, when the University's President stopped by, the Owls welcomed several special guests to the Schmidt Family Practice Fields, including American Athletic Conference Commissioner Tim Pernetti, FAU Faculty Athletics Representative Dr. Stephen Engle and FAU's Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Larry Faerman.
