FAU hoping bye week doesn't slow momentum
A popular slogan on the Florida Atlantic campus is, “All Aboard The Lane Train.”
It is reference to the steam the program has gained under first-year football coach Lane Kiffin. With a bye this week, all Kiffin wants is for the engine to keep running instead of stalling.
The Owls would much rather attempt to improve on their two-game winning streak soon as possible than sit around for a week.
“When you’re playing really well, we could just stay in rhythm,” Kiffin said during his weekly Monday press conference. “But we’ll embrace it. Instead of just sitting here talking about what good we’ve done or winning two games in a row … So what? Now what? What are we doing this week?”
