Staff Predictions: Owls seek victory in season opener against Charlotte

FAU will play its first game of the 2022 season hosting the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Head coach Willie Taggart, after finishing last season with the Owls with a 5-7 record, will look to make huge progress to have the Owls be potential title contenders, starting with the 49ers.

FAU’s matchup with Charlotte last year saw the Owls limit the 49ers’ offense in a cruising 31-9 victory.

The University Press Sports Staff returns with their first predictions for 2022.

With the plethora of changes the Owls have seen this off-season, coupled with the loss of an extra week of practice due to this matchup taking place during Week 0, expect FAU to come out looking very sloppy.
