Jake Elman, who covers FAU football for the Palm Beach Post, breaks down the players to watch and what he expects from the Owls entering Saturday's game at Ohio State.
Ohio State struggled at times in the red zone a season ago but having a dual-threat option like Justin Fields at quarterback could help turn the tide this fall.
After a long road back from injury, Branden Bowen said “it was hard not to break down and cry” when he found out he would be Ohio State's starting right tackle on Saturday.
In his first game since he broke his leg midway through the 2017 season, fifth-year senior Branden Bowen will start at right tackle for Ohio State on Saturday.
Ryan Day said "the sky is absolutely the limit" for Justin Fields and described Lane Kiffin as "very creative" and "aggressive" on Monday's Buckeye Roundtable on 97.1 The Fan.
FAU has one of the nation's best tight ends and several former Power 5 players, but the Owls had a weak defense last season and haven't beat a Power 5 team since 2007.
FAU gave up over 425 yards a game and nearly six yards a play last season. That defense makes its way to Columbus as an easy early test for Ohio State's new starting quarterback.
