Now that coach Lane Kiffin appears to have the FAU football program currently headed in the right direction, he can spend some time working on its future.
After evening their record at 3-3 with a victory against Old Dominion, the Owls have a welcomed bye week. It will give Kiffin and the coaching staff opportunity to recruit the talent-rich South Florida scene.
"We don't have a whole lot of time in season to do it,” Kiffin said. “We will (this) week with the bye. We'll be able to get out a lot more.”
Although Kiffin is no stranger to the area _ he recruited here often when he was an assistant at Alabama and head coach at Tennessee _ he faces a tougher challenge at FAU because he isn’t at a major school.
