FAU Owls prepare for upcoming season and discuss civil rights amidst nation-wide protests

COVID-19 and nation-wide civil rights protests have taken a major toll on the FAU Football team, especially entering the 2020 season.

Head Coach Willie Taggart said the the team has had to adjust to their new “normal” routine in preparation for the upcoming season, but while a return to the field is uncertain, according to Taggart, they’re “just preparing as if we have a season until they tell us that there is not going to be one.”

“The more we follow the [Center for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines, the better it will be,” Taggart said.

The Owls were unable to participate in Spring practices so the dynamic of the incoming players and those who remain from last year is questionable.
