Another week, another unusual offense for Florida Atlantic’s football team. And that’s just fine with the Owls.
One week after opening the 2017 season with a 42-19 loss to Navy and its triple-option offense, the Owls will travel to No. 9 Wisconsin to take on the Badgers and their power-running attack. Wisconsin’s offense is not unorthodox by traditional football standards. It uses a fullback. It rolls out two and three tight ends.
But compared to the spread offenses that populate both Conference USA and the rest of college football, Wisconsin qualifies as an outlier.
