The Owls Fly In!
. The last time Auburn played a Howard Schnellenberger-coached team was in August of 1984, when the Tigers took on the defending national champion Miami Hurricanes in the Kickoff Classic II, at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. Miami escaped with a 20-18 win. While coach Schnellenberger built Miami into a national title contender, he's had a decidedly more difficult challenge at Florida Atlantic, producing only a 56-60 record with the Owls. You see, prior to Schnellenbeger's arrival in 1999, Florida Atlantic had no football program at all! 11 short years later, they are playing FBS football, and will play their home games in a brand new 30,000 seat stadium in Boca Raton. The program has made amazing progress!
After three straight early games in the broiling September sun, I think most Tiger fans are hoping that this will be a night game. The Tigers will need a bit of a break to recharge for a grueling mid-season stretch of games. Auburn will have hosted Utah State and Mississippi State, then survived a road trip to Clemson. Florida Atlantic opens with 4 consecutive road games. The Owls play at Florida, then at Michigan State. They then have a week off to prepare for Auburn. FAU has upset AQ teams in the past, but they are coming off a difficult year in which they only finished 4-8.
Offensively, the Owls have some building to do before September. The must replace solid quarterback Jeff van Camp and most of their receiving corps. All five offensive line starters return, as well as workhorse running back Alfred Morris. Morris led the Sun Belt with 928 rushing yards last season, but the team only averaged 2.8 yards per carry and only scored 8 rushing touchdowns in 12 games. The biggest challenge is finding a quarterback. The returning three quarterbacks only threw 7 passes last season. The expected starter, junior Graham Wilbert injured a finger on his throwing hand and has missed time during offseason workouts. Coach Schnellenberger has indicated that it will be a 3 quarterback race in fall camp.
Florida Atlantic returns a strong leg in senior punter Mickey Groody but must replace a consistent kicker Ross Gornall. Groody averaged 45.7 yards per punt and at times showed great placement skills. Junior Vinny Zaccario is the new kicker. Owl kick and punt coverage are average at best, and the team could use some help in the return game. The kick return group managed only a 19.9 yard average, and the punt returners averaged only 6.5. Both return men, Tavious Polo and Willie Floyd will have to be replaced.

Camp War Eagle - Blogging at Auburn
Does it matter when I take World History?
How do I get tickets to a baseball game?
And, the library closes … when?
All of these questions and more are being answered right now at Camp War Eagle, Auburn’s summer orientation program for incoming freshmen. The third of 10 sessions starts today, with an estimated 380 students and their parents flocking to the Plains for each session. Students are separated into groups of 10-12, each led by a Camp War Eagle counselor. At the two-day session, the students will receive a campus tour, register for fall classes, participate in a pep rally in the stadium and visit breakout sessions on things to get involved with on campus. They will listen to talks and skits on study habits, finagling with roommates who refuse to clean and dealing with awkward situations. No stone is left unturned.
These incoming freshmen will lean heavily on their Camp War Eagle counselors, not only during these two days but into the school year as well. Essentially, the counselors become personal Foy information lines for the students they guide into life at Auburn. The 35 counselors are all Auburn students, typically entering their junior or senior years, who have gone through a rigorous interview and training process on all things Auburn. Ask the counselors to recite the Auburn Creed. They’ll know it by heart. Ask them to tell you about the late dean of students Jim Foy; they’ll give you a touching glimpse of his legacy. Ask them when the library closes, and they might just know from experience that, from Sunday to Friday, the lights in the Ralph Brown Draughon Library never go off.
Naturally, counselors will teach the class of 2015 how to greet each other and Auburn fans around the world with a hearty “War Eagle”!
