Saturday marks our first home football game of the season as the Owls look to bounce back from a tough road trip. The FAU football team ended its historic 2017 season with a Conference USA Championship, a CheriBundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl title, the program’s first Associated Press All-American, and 21 C-USA postseason honorees. The team also boasts a seven-game winning streak at FAU Stadium, and they need all their fans to fill the stands and root them on to another victory.

The Owls will host the U.S. Air Force Academy for the first time at FAU Stadium on Saturday. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. It is important to remember that the U.S. Air Force Academy’s football players, marching band, spirit team and many of their fans are on active duty in the U.S. military. Let’s show them how much we appreciate their service to our country by treating them with the utmost respect and ensure they have a wonderful afternoon of Football in Paradise.

The Owls have five additional home games this season. We should treat all of our opponents with the same amount of courtesy and respect, so they leave with fond memories of FAU and Boca Raton.

This promises to be an exciting season as the Owls defend their Conference USA title, so please join me at FAU Stadium to cheer the football team on to another winning season. Don’t forget to wear red!

Go Owls!
