The Owls will look to keep the Shula Trophy in Boca Raton this weekend against arch rival Florida International. With the contest approaching, FAU Coach Lane Kiffin met with the media on Sunday for his weekly presser and below are the highlights from that session.
Do you feel the rivalry week adds something to the players' preparation or is that stuff overblown?
I think it does. Rivalries, especially when they are close like this, almost the same city like UCLA/USC. Different than maybe rivalries Alabama/Tennessee. These kids have played each other so much and so many local kids, I think that adds to it.
