3 things to watch for the Owls as FAU takes on Wagner

It’s do or die time for FAU, as FCS Wagner comes to town with the Owls needing a win, a dominating one at that, to prove their early season struggles are behind them.

Have we regressed as a program back to where the FCS games are scary again?

Man, we have sank a lot of money into this program to be here.

Hope not, we are 30 point favorites!

 

I refuse to believe we’ve regressed that far. My hope is Weisman shows he can operate the offense smoother and we go into the Bye week with a chance to hit the reset button.

What was the spread vs Army and UConn?

We are not covering that spread, Wagner covers outright.  We cant even get a first down and now 30 point favorites, Vegas is looking for a few suckers lol.

Kasen will get the second quarter and a decision will be made at the half who gets the rest of the game.

Herman will be calling plays this game.

I forget the name, but we have a WR that has opted to take a RS and will most likely transfer.  Our receiving corps is thin.

Jayson Platt

So here’s my thing. Last year we struggled on some play calls, why didn’t Herman intervene.  This game doesn’t count, if we dominate it’s an outlier. He needed to jump in on the last game and find a solution for Cam.

I feel like Herman is lazy,  I read an article on why he was fired from Texas. He won games but there was something off and it shows here.  The qbs Herman brought it have been super mid.  
This is his last chance. Football is lacking, we got tik tokers as a main event it’s sad. 

Like I said tomorrow doesn’t count, our defense is porous and will give up 300 rushing yards in a whim. As a coach you need to observe these flaws, and find a solution. We beat Willy down but at least he pulverized teams at home. We won’t cover -30+ points. If we score might be 20 points.

Our recieving corp is depleted and small, rb’s are mismanaged and the play calling is atrocious. This is Herman’s last stand and oh yea Mr. WHITE, is 0-2 in coaching picks.

He is 0-2 because hiring coaches who got fired from other jobs is usually not a good strategy. We need an OC or head coach from an FCS/low-end G5 school after the Herman era ends.

Gus at UCF is the exception to the rule. He had to play Georgia, Bama, etc, and would often beat them. Herman on the other hand had Texas, (top big 12 team resource wise), at around 8-4 each year with 2-4 losses in Big 12 play each year to inferior teams.

That being said though, he is NOT as bad as our performance has shown these last two years. As the FIU game showed, a lot of our struggles are due to the AAC transition. If we were in cusa last season, this team would have been near the top of the league.

Deciding to keep a coach after year 2 often depends on how the recruiting looks, and our 2025 class looks very solid. Herman might not be the best coach ever, but he is plenty good enough to get us to a bowl (or more) next season.
