Oh yeah!  I forgot there were a few more football practices after the spring game while b-ball was dominating gmg.com!

Glad to see Littrell likes the improvement in the Defensive front & secondary.

Yes... happy to hear this.  Two of the the biggest needs we have going into next year

Ok guys...tell me your thoughts on your spring.  Based on what I read on your comments the offense is tighter and only improved from a year ago.  And your defense improved.  So did you guys close the gap?  Just assuming that FAU doesn't slip or doesn't improve at all and we just stay what we are.  Too early to say if we can repeat our performance from last year but for this question just assume we are the same.

Through six practices the offense has been very effective and fast temple is still the goal.  Weis Jr is calling the plays but of course that can and probably will change when the season starts.  I expect Kiffin to call the plays in the beginning of the season with Weis taking over as the season progresses.  The defensive line has been dominating so far, but the O-line is rebuilding and apparently struggling mightily.  We have a redshirt sophomore guard who has moved up the depth chart and taking snaps with the first teamers.  So that either means he kicking butt and taking names or things are a mess right now!

If you guys have another good year and we hold our end of the bargain up I am planning on flying up to Denton for the game in November.  Should be fun.

If roughly half of the FAU team quits, transfers, or shows up on an episode of Cops over the summer as most of America expects, then I am pretty confident that the gap will be sufficiently closed to where the game will be much closer than last season.
