Glenn Spencer, Lane Kiffin's new coordinator, reshaping FAU defense

When defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer was hired in the offseason, there were high hopes he would be the solution to Florida Atlantic’s struggles on defense. If spring is any indication, he might be.

In the first spring scrimmage, the Owls allowed the offense to do pretty much whatever it wanted. By the second scrimmage, the defense dominated and in Sunday’s spring game on Saturday, the defense forced six turnovers.

No compatible source was found for this media.

Spencer’s arrival in Boca Raton, after stints at Oklahoma State and Charlotte, may have never happened if not for the draw of working with coach Lane Kiffin, Spencer said on Saturday.
