Florida Atlantic’s 2018 football season didn’t go as the Owls planned, ending last weekend with a 5-7 record.
It’s time for coach Lane Kiffin, his staff and returning players to move on to 2019, but as they look ahead, we look back one final time.
Following an 11-3 season in 2017 in which FAU won 10 consecutive games, went undefeated in Conference USA and earned a victory in the Boca Raton Bowl, the 2018 Owls fell short of .500 and didn’t qualifying for a bowl. Why, after Kiffin’s first year at the helm was such a success, was his second season such a dropoff?
