With Travis Trickett taking over the Owls offensive play calling, expect to see Outside Zone as a staple of the FAU offense.
In 2015, the Owls flashed a variety of formations, motions, and personnel packages at the Hurricanes for early success, but eventually were steamrolled by the ‘Canes. With Offensive Coordinator Brian Wright fired in December, the Owls hired Samford’s Travis Trickett. However, Coach Trickett uses many of the same formations and personnel groups as Coach Wright.
Trickett, the son of Seminoles Offensive Line Coach Rick Trickett, worked his way up from the bottom of the coaching ranks, starting as a student assistant before landing the OC position at Samford and now FAU.
