FAU's season opener against Georgia Southern on Saturday has been postponed following the Owls' additional positive COVID-19 tests.
"Saturday's football game between Florida Atlantic University and Georgia Southern has been postponed. Following results of Thursday's COVID-19 testing, it was determined the Owls would be unable to play Saturday. The two schools are working to find a date to play later this season," FAU announced in a statement on Friday.
The news comes after the Owls had an outbreak earlier in the week and canceled practice on Tuesday. The team resumed activities on Wednesday, when coach Willie Taggart told reporters that "like 11" members tested positive for the coronavirus.
