Florida Atlantic Owls just 3 weeks away from season opener with new head coach

It’s been a tough couple of years for FAU, but head coach Zach Kittley is hoping to bring in a new era for the Owls.

At the end of the month, we will see Coach Kittley in his first game under the main headset, and hopefully, it will be a positive sign of things to come.

With just a few practices remaining, this team is starting to see the playbook come together, and the starting roster fine-tuned.

As the days push on, it seems like these coaches and players are seeing a difference already.

“After the conversations I’ve had with the guys, they feel there has been a vast improvement,” said quarterback Zach Gibson. “All across the board, starting with the administration, down to the third-string punter.”

“Yeah, I’m excited,” said FAU head coach Zach Kittley. “I’m glad we still have 3 weeks to go because I’m a firm believer in the process. Practice makes perfect, and all those things. I’m glad we don’t kick off today, glad we have three weeks. Still got a lot of room to improve, but I’m excited.”

The first game of the season for the Owls will be on the road against Maryland on August 30 at noon.
