The “rat poison” factor has already infected the Florida Atlantic football program before fall practices have started.
On Wednesday, a national writer predicted the Owls would be among the unranked preseason teams to finish in the Top 10. According to ESPN’s Chris Low, FAU could follow in UCF’s path from a year ago if it defeats Oklahoma in the opener Sept. 1.
“This year, watch out for Lane Kiffin and his Florida Atlantic Owls,” Low wrote. Kiffin thinks they will be even better than a year ago when they won 11 games, and they get Oklahoma to kick off the 2018 season.
