There’s a certain aura of mystery surrounding Florida Atlantic’s football team ahead of its season opener against Navy on Friday night.
It hasn’t decided on a starting quarterback or even how many will play. Which transfers will have a significant impact is unknown. Even the offense — mostly offensive coordinator Kendal Briles’ scheme with some concepts from FAU coach Lane Kiffin — is somewhat of a mystery entering the 2017 season.
Navy coach Ken Niumatololo said his staff has been studying both Kiffin and Briles’ history at schools like Alabama, USC, Tennessee, Baylor and Houston.
