FAU Football: The Owls seek to win their first season opener since 2016 on Saturday against Charlotte

The start of FAU’s football season has been hit with delay after delay with their first four games either being canceled or postponed. Barring any setbacks, the Owls will finally begin their season this Saturday at home against the Charlotte 49ers.

The last time these two teams faced off, FAU dominated Charlotte with a 45-27 win on the road.

Charlotte enters this game at 0-1 with their game against North Carolina being canceled and their contest against Georgia State being postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests.

Stopping Charlotte quarterback Chris Reynolds is key for FAU, as Reynolds was one of the best quarterbacks in C-USA last season, but he is coming off an upper body injury he suffered in week one against Appalachian State.
