BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Florida Atlantic Coaches Show, presented by Duffy's Sports Grill, returns on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 6-7 p.m. at the Duffy's Sports Grill on St. Andrew's Boulevard in Boca Raton.
Fans can join in person or listen live on FOX Sports South Florida 640 AM. This Thursday's show will feature Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Zach Kittley as well as Defensive Tackles Coach and Run Game Coordinator Devin Santana.
The Owls are coming off a loss to league-leading Army and will look to respond versus Rice this weekend. The game will air on ESPNU and will also air audio only on Fox Sports South Florida 640 AM, beginning at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24. The game is the third and final option team on the 2026 schedule.
Santana, who was a member of the Owls in 2014, oversees a unit that has played a critical role thus far. The defensive tackles unit was a heavy focus in the last recruiting cycle, and the group has made a tremendous impact this season, led by graduate captain CJ Doggette Jr. and Blake Burris, who leads the tackles with 23 tackles and three tackles for a loss of nine yards. The Owl defensive tackles recorded 116 tackles through 12 games a year ago and have 85 through six in 2026.
Join the show in person each week for the chance to win trivia prizes and other giveaways and be on the lookout for special appearances from Owlsley.
The Florida Atlantic Coaches Show continues every Thursday from 6-7 p.m., except where noted below. There is no show Thanksgiving week (Nov. 26).
