BOCA RATON, Fla. – Thursday’s practice for the Florida Atlantic University football team was similar in format to Tuesday. The Owls continue to stress fundamentals, something they are looking to improve on from a year ago, as well as continuing preparation for the 2021 season. FAU then broke into their Spring Game teams for the remaining practice sessions.
The Spring Game will feature the two teams, which have been decided through draft and free agency, squaring off versus each other. The game is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday in FAU Stadium.
SPEED ZONE
Something new to the Owls’ practice is announcing players to break 20 mph. Players wear a vest, that among other things, measures their speeds throughout the day. The moment a player hits the speed of 20 mph, a horn sounds and the strength coaches drop and do a regiment of pushups. On Thursday, TJ Chase was the only Owl to break the barrier.
