In what some would consider to be an odd decision by CUSA to change their tiebreaker format during the season, the Golden Eagle football team had to put that behind them and returned to practice in preparation for their game tomorrow at FAU. Let's make no mistake here, this FAU squad is the best CUSA team Southern Miss has had to face all season. They have won their last 4 games in a row averaging 38 points per game. In that same span the Owl defense is only giving up 15 points per game. The Owls present the Southern Miss defense a problem that they have not seen all season. 2 of the top 5 Owl receivers are Tight Ends. Forget the numbers, touchdowns, this is a big problem for the Eagles because 2 of USM's top linebackers appear to be out this game. (Boothe, Bozeman) For the Eagles to win this game, they must play like they did earlier this season against North Texas. Start out fast, keep the hammer down, and when you have an opportunity to put FAU away, you must take advantage of that. How did Southern Miss do in practice this week? Let's take a look at both sides of the ball (and take a look at who wasn't there as well) as the Eagles finished up preparation for the Owls of Florida Atlantic.
