For Florida Atlantic, Saturday's Shula Bowl against Florida International is a rivalry game. But for Owls assistant coaches Dan Shula and Corey Bell, it will be a point of family pride.
Shula (wide receivers coach) is the grandson of former Dolphins coach Don Shula, for whom the game and trophy is named after because of his ties with former FAU coach Howard Schnellenberger and former FIU coach Don Strock.
Dan Shula said the week is great to be a part of, no matter who the trophy is named after, but does admit the build-up to Saturday can be odd.
