BOCA RATON - FAU’s offensive line didn’t put together the prettiest game in Thursday’s victory at UAB. The young Owls did enough, though, to earn praise from coach Howard Schnellenberger.
“I’m proud of the offensive line,” Schnellenberger said. “They went out there and stuck together. They didn’t lose their mind, their confidence, didn’t lose anything.
