After winning the Conference USA championship on Dec. 12 against UAB (10-3), FAU’s next and final test of the season is against the Southern Methodist University Mustangs (10-2) in the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl Saturday.
While Willie Taggart was hired as the new head coach for FAU, he won’t coach in the bowl game. Defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer will fill in as interim head coach for Saturday’s game.
As reported by FAU Owl Access, LB Akileis Leroy and WRs Deangelo Antoine and Pico Harrison will not play due to academic suspensions. RBs Malcolm Davidson and Tyrek Tisdale are also not expected to play and TE Harrison Bryant is battling an illness so his status is also questionable.
