The loss last week to Marshall dealt a major blow to FAU’s (5-4, 3-2 C-USA) hopes at a spot in the C-USA championship game, but the team must now look forward to a matchup on the road in Norfolk, Va. against Old Dominion (3-6, 2-3 C-USA). A win this week would clinch bowl eligibility for the Owls for the third straight year.
“[They are] a good team that’s getting better,” head coach Willie Taggart said on ODU. “I think part of what they’re going through is they didn’t play last year. They had to kind of get used to each other this season, and now towards the latter part of the season we’ve seen them take off and become a better football team.
