Green mann returns
Kicked off campus and arrested, the infamous FAU student and tradition starter comes back and gives back
By Dylan Bouscher News editor Photos by Lamise Mansur Staff photographer
T
wo FAU students with $50,000 to raise and over 2,700 miles to bike. Their journey began at the mile zero marker in Key West and ended at Niagara Falls. Michael Buonaiuto Jr. and Nathaniel Frankoski wanted to raise $50,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project, which helps veterans with physical and psychological injuries by funding events and programs for them. Buonaiuto and Frankoski started their trip June 25 and ended it Saturday, Aug. 18, in time to ly home and speak at church the next morning — and start classes the next day. Buonaiuto gained notoriety in late 2010 for dressing up in a green Morphsuit, making random appearances, dancing with students around the Boca campus and calling himself Green Mann. He also claims he gave students a dozen tours of the storm tunnels under FAU’s Boca campus, which is against

university policy. Buonaiuto’s brush with FAU police about the tours was his irst time getting in trouble as Green Mann. “Green Mann kind of energized the campus,” Ashwin Pachori, a senior biology major said. “Is he really coming back? Don’t play with my emotions.” Now he’s done dancing in the suit and is using it to raise money and give back to veterans. The plan was to bike 50 miles a day for 50 days to raise $50,000 for the project. It took the duo 55 days, and Buonaiuto and Frankoski raised $7,800 for the project, but Buonaiuto is donating another $4,900 of his own money to make roughly $12,700 raised as of publication time. To raise the money, Buonaiuto and Frankoski wore eight spandex Morphsuits with different logos from 24 sponsors that Buonaiuto acquired through his Green

Buonaiuto and Frankoski learned life lessons on the ride. “It enlightened me to man’s potential,” Buonaiuto said. “I’m willing to go out of my way to help others and I found strangers are too.”
Mann Advertising company. Green Mann Advertising LLC raised $9,000 on the trip, with Buonaiuto donating 37 percent of the advertising revenue directly to the Wounded Warrior Project. “Our best sponsors were the ones that sought us out,” Buonaiuto said. “We didn’t have to sell them, they wanted to team up.” The other 63 percent of advertising revenue covered the costs of their trip, according to Buonaiuto. Because his company is a limited liability corporation (LLC), Buonaiuto is not obligated to donate any of the money given directly to Green Mann Advertising. However, his website allowed donations to be made directly to both the Wounded Warrior Project and Buonaiuto’s company. “I haven’t made one penny on this trip,” Buonaito said.

stood 100 feet above New York City in a ire engine ladder. On day 41 of the trip, Buonaiuto and Frankoski both wore white Morphsuits as they toured the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. They stopped in the Greek and Roman art section of the museum, put on the hoods of their Morphsuits, and posed among the rest of the statues. Visitors stopped, laughed and took pictures. Frankoski didn’t wear his hood or a helmet for the irst two days of the ride — he got one in Boca on the fourth day of their trip — and then it broke soon after that. Along the way, Frankoski also sported a headband and a replica tricorn hat from the Revolutionary War. The two were never injured on the bikes, but they did make a trip to the emergency room after Buonaiuto needed a tetanus shot for a cut to his foot. And both bikers had a close call while riding on U.S. Route 17. The route starts in Punta Gorda, Fla. and merges with U.S. Route 50 in Virginia.
Buonaiuto and Frankoski were riding on Route 17 when they saw a truck approaching — with a boat attached to its trailer — without wheels on the trailer. “Pieces of hub and trailer lew off the boat,” Buonaiuto said. Frankoski remembered seeing “rooster sparks” shooting out from under the dragged boat. Eventually the truck drove past them, scratching only the road. The duo started planning their trip in January, and inished mapping the route by April, according to their blog, MikeandNate. wordpress.com. To keep traveling costs low, Buonaiuto and Frankoski used sites like couchsuring.org and warmshowers.org to contact strangers in the cities they stopped at, who let them stay in their houses for free. “It’s like Facebook for travelers,” Frankoski said about couchwarmers.org. “Warmshowers.org is couch suring strictly for bicyclists.” Some strangers were asleep when Frankoski and Buonaiuto arrived at their daily destinations; others would leave for work before the duo woke up in the morning.

Features FROM PAGE 10 CONTINUED “We resorted on God to be our ultimate provider,” Buonaiuto said. Buonaiuto and Frankoski both attend Victory Christian Center on Sundays, just off Spanish River Boulevard and Boca Raton Boulevard. Some of their eight Morphsuits quoted scriptures from the bible, such as Mark 9:23 and Psalms 25:4-5, which Frankoski called “traveler’s scriptures.” Three suits were white, two neon green, two orange and one yellow. And although Buonaiuto and Frankoski said they relied on God for provisions, they weren’t always certain when they would eat or where they would sleep. On the irst night of their trip, after biking from Key West to Marathon, Buonaiuto and Frankoski stayed in a homeless shelter. And for at least four other stops, the duo had to call a ire station in advance to make sleeping arrangements for the night: North Myrtle Beach, S.C., Jacksonville, N.C., West Point, N.Y., and Newark, N.Y. The station chief at West Point picked the duo up for that night of their trip. In their 55 day voyage, the duo spent less than $250 total, they say, staying in a hotel one night, and paying for one full meal while other restaurants and hosts donated meals. But it wasn’t easy to get back on their bikes after eating. “It’s like a washing machine of food in your stomach,” Frankoski said. The duo expanded their taste on the trip, eating any free meal offered to them. “The meals that sat the worst were vegan,” Frankoski added. And the duo weren’t always amused by each other either. “Every time Nate [Frankoski] burps, he does two tarzan bumps and says excuse me,” Buonaiuto said. “Mike [Buonaiuto] has this psychotic obsession with the number 37,” Frankoski said. “It was funny arguing on the whole trip about the number not being everywhere.” Buonaiuto claims his obsession with the number goes back to an inside joke he shared with friends in high school and explains why Buonaiuto donated 37 percent of the revenue made by his advertising company to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Buonaiuto and Frankoski both enjoyed different parts of the trip. Frankoski’s favorite part of the trip was staying at the West Point military academy, while Buonaiuto enjoyed riding the Mount Vernon trail on the way to Washington D.C.
THE PAST Buonaiuto and Frankoski met in a college youth group four years ago. The idea to put company logos on Morphsuits belonged to Buonaiuto, who is a senior public communications major at FAU. Frankoski has not declared his major yet, but plans on studying international business. Back when Buonaiuto dressed up as Green Mann, he used the suit to perform a social experiment: gain 3,700 friends and promote environmentalism without saying a word. After making 3,546 friends on Facebook, Buonaiuto was unmasked by the UP. “Green Mann was something everyone looked forward to watching,” Devin Zucker, Day 20: July 14 End: North Myrtle Beach, S.C. Mileage: 53.3
a junior sociology major, said. When Buonaiuto walked into music professor Rebecca Lautar’s classroom around 8 p.m. on Nov. 17, Lautar called FAU police. She felt threatened when Buonaiuto interrupted her lecture by dancing in his green suit with a hood on, according to the police report. Before breaking his silence, however, Buonaiuto told The Owl Times about his plan to advertise on his suit. “I would love to have a giant FAU emblem on my chest, or Publix, Tide or FOX … whoever wants to sponsor me.” Before mounting their bikes and championing the Wounded Warrior cause, Buonaiuto and Frankoski both ran into

It was 11:36 p.m. on Oct. 8, 2011, when Frankoski was watching the U.S. soccer team beat Honduras at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens. The game ended with the U.S. beating Honduras 1-0, and Frankoski was blowing a vuvuzela in celebration when a woman in the exiting crowd demanded he stop. Frankoski then approached two police oficers with the woman to resolve the matter and go home. “I was wrongly accused,” Frankoski said. “I had to help [the arresting oficer] write his own report.” The incident ended in Frankoski being charged with resisting an oficer without violence, disorderly intoxication and battery. His bond was $3,000, and he spent the rest of the night in the Dade County Correctional Facility. But there’s more to Frankoski on second glance. He is currently letting a homeless man named Jean Victor live with him until he gets back on his feet. Victor met Frankoski at church after the duo spoke about their trip. “I’ve had a hard time re-integrating myself into life here,” Frankoski said. He wants
to open a bicycle co-op with support from the Boca City Council, but currently makes granite countertops. THE RETURN Buonaiuto and Frankoski may have reached Niagara Falls, but their trip ended in Toronto, Canada the Saturday before the fall semester began. The duo caught a plane back to Florida, and almost lost their bikes at the hands of Delta Airlines. But the airline found their bikes the next day. Now Buonaiuto is taking the inal class he needs to graduate: communication, democracy and civic engagement. And this semester he plans on bringing Green Mann back to FAU’s Boca campus — the right way. “I realized this is not where I want to be,” Buonaiuto said. “I have to igure out how to mix school and my philanthropy.” Buonaiuto is meeting with Joanna Ellwood,
an associate dean of students, to make it possible for any student to wear a Morphsuit on campus while following university policies. “I gave FAU so much exposure with this, if administration doesn’t let me wear the suit on campus this semester,” Buonaiuto warned, “hell will break loose and pigs will ly out of it.” Buonaiuto and Frankoski still want to raise the remaining $38,300 for the Wounded Warrior Project. To do this, Buonaiuto has another trick up his sleeve. He plans on writing an e-book with Frankoski about their journey and releasing it, then donating the proits to the Wounded Warrior Project. Buonaiuto is hopeful the duo can reach their fundraising goal, and take another bike ride sometime in the near future. “Everyone on this campus has the ability to do something that’s great,” he said, “and taking that irst step is the hardest.”
Buonaiuto and Frankoski met four years ago at a college youth group. The duo both attend Victory Christian Center where they spoke the morning after they returned from their trip.

Events happening this week as part of Weeks of Welcome
Green Market @ FAU grand opening
I
t’s not easy being green, but FAU’s trying to help. With the organic food trend on the rise and students constantly emptying their pockets to eat out, an open market on campus means students get a chance to buy locally grown fruits and veggies — minus the scary prices or pesticides. “Oh my god, that’s so cool! I’d so buy their food,” Pamela Heguaburo, a freshman premed major, said. As part of Mission Green’s partnership with Inika Foods, an FAU alumni-owned food prep business, FAU’s own green market will be held every Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. at FAU Stadium. The grand opening is this Thursday, Aug. 30. Each week, the Green Market @ FAU will offer a variety of local vendors, including alumni-owned businesses selling items such as fresh produce; prepared foods such as hummus, beets, pickles and sauces; artisan crafts and jewelry; organic products like soaps and lotions; and entertainment from students and other local artists. “The green market is not limited to produce. Organic soaps, honey and lowers can be purchased at the green market, but not necessarily at places like Walmart and Target,” Johnny Yuen, president of Mission Green said. Over 30 vendors are already signed up for the irst green market based on Mission Green’s Facebook page.

icking off the fall semester, Mission Green, Graduate Student Association and new student programs are making sure there is something fun for everyone here at FAU. These events are all part of Weeks of Welcome (WOW), a two week series of events compiled to adapt new students to campus life and all it has to offer. WOW includes seminars, socials and activities all based on getting you involved in student life outside of the classroom. Here are two events happening this week. Mark your calendars.
Though some students think it may not be for everyone. “I would not go. I would not buy handmade arts and crafts. I’m not a girl,” Cody Curbelo, a freshman engineering major, said. There are many perks to buying produce from an open market rather than a grocery store. “The growers will be there to talk about the products, and anyone purchasing items can feel good about what they are buying,” Yuen said. Talk about customer service. Some students are excited about getting organic fruits and veggies right on campus. “I plan on going. Organic strawberries are delicious,” Max Torres, a sophomore electrical engineering major, said. The atmosphere of the grand opening will be beachy — minus the beach. The opening theme is “A Day at the Beach” and will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony, as well as special guests including FAU President Mary Jane Saunders. Mission Green will be passing out beach balls and even have nets set up for volleyball. A DJ will be there and guests are invited to bring umbrellas and beach chairs. The green market will continue to be held at the stadium every Thursday, starting this week, and will continue throughout the semester. Admission is free and students can park for free in Lot 11. The event is also open to the general public. CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Q/A with Johnny Yuenpresident of Mission Green
UP: Tell me about Mission Green? Yuen: Mission Green Student Association (MGSA) is an organization that promotes sustainability on campus through civic engagement. MGSA at FAU involves working on the community garden, helping out at the Tortuga Trail with SEEDS (Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability), and promoting reuse and recycling. How’d the idea of a green market come about? The idea of the green market came when we began hosting Green Fest, which is the annual fair at FAU where green companies showcase their products to students. Last year at Green Fest, students were able to purchase organic foods and soaps, as well as green school supplies. We wanted to bring sustainability into student life as an on-going event and not something that just happens once a year. What kind of turnout do you expect at the opening? We anticipate around 500 people. The Farmer’s Market is open to the public, meaning it is not limited to FAU students, faculty and staff. However, we do expect a good turnout from members of the FAU community, especially students who live on campus and are looking for clean, healthy ways of living. What about students interested in becoming vendors in the future? Please contact Helen (Kennedy) at 561-297-0197 [or] hkenned2@fau.edu How do you feel about the products? MGSA is very pleased about the number of organic products available at the Green Market because in our community garden, we strive to teach garden newcomers the importance of organic gardening, such as using compost to fertilize crops and using methods other than pesticides to keep the bugs away.

irst a comedian. Second a hypnotist. Then a magician. And now, FAU’s messing with your head again. Mentalist Brian Imbus is visiting. That’s right, more magic. The performance, which will have hypnotism and magic, is on Thursday, Aug. 30, at 9 p.m., in the Carole & Barry Kaye Auditorium, inside the Student Union. Program Board is sponsoring the event, costing them $2,500 to $3,500 according to Program Board Director Lexi Rosario. Some are scratching their heads already. “We just had a hypnotist!” Joshua Flack, a freshman pre-business major, said. “We just had one. He was great,” Michael Precourt, a freshman ilm major, said. A hypnotist and a magician both performed at FAU just a few weeks ago and gathered audiences of about 700 each, according to the auditorium staff who were working those nights. “I don’t think we need another one for a while. Let’s add some diversity to the performances at FAU,” Precourt said. But the event has Zack Statkus,a freshman pre-business major, excited. “Even though
we had one before, they are still pretty cool to see people doing ridiculous things when they are hypnotized,” he said. But Rosario feels this show will be different than the ones before. “More mind games. Both performances were different and featured different tricks. The performers all have different focuses. All the events so far were fun, it will be a great time,” she said. Imbus’ act is called Miracles of the Mind and will demonstrate mind reading, prediction making and lots of audience participation, according to Imbus’ website. Imbus’ promotional video features him simultaneously hypnotizing 30 volunteers on stage. The last hypnotist to perform at FAU, Chris Jones, hypnotized 18 people. Beware though, if you’re lucky enough to be a hypnosis victim, based on his videos, it seems all is fair in love and mind control. As Imbus says trigger words, he has his hypnotized volunteers pound on their chests and call themselves Tarzan, discover that their funny bones are missing, or even be under the impression that they are at a Michael Jackson performance. No one is safe at this performance.

OwlGating Everything you need to know about tailgaiting at FAU’s football games
By Nick Ippolitto & Emily Bloch Contributor Contributor

W
ith the rise of the new stadium last season, tailgating at FAU is diferent and more convenient than in the past. Owl Nation is growing, and along with it, so is the tailgating experience. Tailgating starts on Friday, Aug. 31, at 4 p.m., and the opening home game vs. Wagner starts at 8 p.m. Housing and Residential Life is inviting new students to take their “irst light” and become a part of the tailgating experience at 6 p.m. Students are welcome to walk the stadium, take pictures close to the ield, and welcome the football team to home turf, two hours before the opening game. In comparison to Lockhart Stadium, the former home for the Owls, the new stadium is much improved. “To tell you the truth, the tailgating aspect wasn’t enjoyable at all. I could actually see the players changing in the tents. hat’s when you know you hit an all-time low,” FAU alumni Danny Robles said. “he stadium was run down, parking lot, everything. I remember seeing people’s cars getting broken into in the bad area that it was in. And how could I forget the annoying airplanes.” Student Government agrees Lockhart wasn’t the ideal place to tailgate. “I think the old stadium didn’t provide a way for us to be a community and be Owl fans together. You kind of tailgated by your car, and it was concrete,” Student Body Vice President April Turner said. “You know, it was really bad.”
This year, students will tailgate on the south lawn of the stadium instead of in front of the Administration building.
The Tradition On game days, four hours prior to kickof, the Student Alumni Association’s (SAA) victory bell will ill the air signaling the beginning of tailgating at the on-campus stadium. “We’re the ones that start of the tailgate,” SAA Prowlers Director Phillip Davis said. “No one can turn on their grills or open up a drink before we ring the bell.” he Rat’s Mouth area, created by Student Body President Robert Hufman, located on the south lawn of the stadium, will be bustling with activities ranging from food, music from Owl Radio, and many diferent games set up by various clubs and organizations. Alcohol is permitted in areas monitored by the university police. “Now, with the work of Robert [Hufman] and us following through the second year, we’re right next to our own stadium, our own campus,” Turner said. “here’s more of a big general tailgate, and everyone is all together, and we’re mixing and enjoying each other’s company as opposed to individual tailgates. So it gives us an opportunity to just all be Owl fans together, support our team and have a good time.” Fan clubs are stepping up their eforts. he Owl Rangers, who reign atop the school spirit hierarchy at FAU with just one year under their belt, have more in store for 2012. “his year, our tailgates are going to be bigger and better than ever,” Owl Rangers founder Andy Hackett said. “It will be the irst CONTINUED ON PAGE 25

time we use the bed box for football.” he bed box is in the back of a truck loaded with two coolers, two 8-inch sub woofers, along with grilling tools. Hackett says the Owl Rangers will have its own tent with a giant beer pong game using 10 gallon tubs and dodgeballs. Dorm Duels, a social media contest website which has been around for a little over two years, will also be featured. his contest rewards the most crazy campus picture you can take. “We also plan on teaming up with Dorm Duels to provide gameday shirts and swag,” Hackett said. “We have decided to be with the fans and tailgate in the general public for the season. It’s all about the fans this year.” At the FAU Alumni Center across the street from FAU Stadium, members get in free, non-members pay a fee of $20, and $10 for children ages 3-12. Admission includes tailgate fare and cold drinks (while supplies last), music, entertainment and family friendly environment, and “the hottest NCAA match-ups broadcast on big screen TVs, and cool, clean and comfortable facilities,” according to its website. A $10 bottomless beer cup will also be available for purchase. “When you come in you will get food, there will be cable hooked up throughout the alumni center so you can watch other games that are happening. We’ll have a bar, $10 beer cups. We’ll have entertainment,” Mary Beth Albritton, FAU director of development/alumni events and operations for the Alumni Center said. “here will be games on site. It’s good for children and adults. It’s always cleaned and air conditioned so it’s a fun time.” The new era A sense of belonging and togetherness is what makes for tradition and school pride. hat’s what tailgating is all about according to SG, and the new spot will help out with that. “he atmosphere will be better,” Robert Hufman said. “I expect there to be a lot more students and fans in the area. It’s going to be great.” He hopes for a crowd of a few thousand since the student-only section seats 5,000. Students can get their tickets online through MyFAU and must bring their Owl Card and printed ticket to the game. Food is free apart from some diferent junctions. Owl Radio is making sure fans don’t leave hungry. “We are going to be co-sponsoring a load of burgers, maybe get some students some discount food,” Owl Radio Station Manager Korey Mitchell said. “Yes, we’re going to have music. Yes, we’re going to have girls dancing, and yes, it’s going to be a blast.” Young students are intrigued at the possibility of bonding as a community in Boca. “I enjoy the camaraderie that exists within the student body as we support the football team,” Brandon Lalloo, a freshman exercise science and health promotion major, said. “It’s cool to see people you wouldn’t expect to hang out with each other share a common interest and have a great college experience.” Lalloo is already hyped to represent his new school. “I expect it to be very lively and to be an energy packed experience,” Lalloo said. “A whole lot of noise. I expect to put on for FAU and start to put FAU on the map.” From the casual sports fan to the fanatic, all are welcome to the tailgate. SG had a speciic reason for moving the tailgating spot to the south lawn. “I think it’s important that everyone feels welcome, that’s why we put it in a more general place,” Turner said. “Because Robert [Hufman] and I wanted it to feel like anyone can just show up and be there so we want to make sure that everyone knows that they’re very welcome at this location. We really want to see every person out there. It’s for all of us.”

The opening blow
Owls defense should sink Division I-AA Wagner By Mohamed Abdihakim Photos by Michelle Friswell Contributor Photo editor
T
he Carl Pelini era is about to begin. And with new uniforms too. FAU (1-11 in 2011) starts of the 2012 season against Wagner College (3-7). Kickof is set for this Friday, Aug. 31, at 8 p.m. in FAU Stadium. he Owls are starting fresh and taking the ield for the irst time without former head coach Howard Schnellenberger. Not only will this be the irst season opener at the stadium, but the team will also unveil its new red alternate jerseys. FAU is undergoing a drastic change in ofensive philosophy, switching from the pro set to the no-huddle spread formation. As of Aug. 23, the starting quarterback has yet to be named. Regardless, ofensive coordinator Brian Wright knows what he wants to see out of his eventual starter, whether it’s Graham Wilbert or Stephen Curtis. “Well, irst of all, a guy that makes great decisions and takes care of the ball and make plays,” Wright said. Wright said in training camp that incumbent Wilbert understood the ofense the best. Wilbert had seven touchdowns and 15 interceptions last season. “We’re looking for someone to take over and become a leader of the ofense, we don’t have that right now,” Wright added. Stephen Curtis said he’ll be ready if his number is called. He started last season as a third-stringer, but worked his way into a backup quaterback by season’s end. Now, he wants the

opportunity to work with the irst unit. “When I get my chances,” Curtis said, ”I’m gonna take them.” Curtis had played in this new ofensive system when he was in high school. He’s got the arm and the on-ield acumen to make impact plays in the air. An interesting wrinkle in the Owls’ playbook will be Curtis’ option to run the ball. He’s built a little bigger than the other QBs, coming in at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds. “I mean, yeah,” Curtis said about his mobility being a positive factor. “I’m gonna be running the ball a good bit.” here could be its of miscommunication, dropped passes and mental mistakes in week one under the new system. But Wright understands that there’s only one way to win this game — with the basics. “Just like any team, you gotta go in and execute the fundamentals on ofense to have success against anybody,” Wright said. “So we’re gonna be focusing on ourselves and making ourselves as good as we can get, and let the results take care of themselves.” No matter the solidarity and clear vision from Wright, the matter of choosing a starter is still at hand. “Our guys have battled like champs at QB, just looking for someone to take it over,” Wright said. “It’s gonna be a very diicult decision.” Defensively, the Owls don’t see any use in focusing in on the opponent. “We’re never gonna talk much about our opponent,” defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis said. “We’re gonna worry about what we do.” he Owls don’t lack respect for their opening day Division I-AA opponent, though, with Curtis noting, “Yeah they’re a good team. We’ve got to take them seriously.” “Again, it’s all about us. I don’t care if we’re playing Wagner, Middle Tennessee or Alabama, or Georgia. It’s about FAU and what we do,” Rekstis added. “If we compete within our process and play hard, we’ll be able to look at each other after the game and feel good about it. We’re never gonna talk much about our opponent. We’re gonna worry about what we do.” As far as football programs go, Carl Pelini is used to stepping into diicult situations. In 2008, Pellini inherited a Nebraska defense ranked 112th in the nation. After a few years at the defensive helm, Nebraska had improved to a ranking of seventh in 2009. FAU’s key to a win here will be their linebacking corps, among the better groups in the conference, from the young Andrae Kirk (87 tackles) to the anchoring experience of seniors David Hinds (110 tackles, two sacks) and Randell Johnson (92 tackles, ive sacks, four forced fumbles). he Owls’ defense also looks to put a halt to big-gain plays in the air, opting to start the new season with a 4-3 formation. Wagner’s passing ofense hasn’t improved from last year’s poor stats, inishing the season with just six passing touchdowns (compared to 17 passing touchdowns allowed). One of the very few bright spots in Wagner’s season last year
Christian Grenough, a sophomore exercise science major, spray paints a sign for his fraternity Alpha Tau Omega to be part of the bonire celebrations
was a ground game that resulted in 16 rushing touchdowns. Ultimately, this game will be decided between FAU’s solid linebacking crew and Wagner’s decent running game. “We have to stop the run,” Rekstis said. “Every game is gonna be similar in that we’ll have to stop the run, not give up big explosion plays, and create some take aways. As long as I’ve been coaching, if you do those things, you’ll probably be successful.” he Owls will win this match-up, though not by as much as you might expect, even if FAU’s switch to a more pass-play friendly system looks precarious initially against Wagner’s defensive backs (11 interceptions, three for touchdowns). Again, stopping Wagner’s running game will be key here. But, on the Owls’ ofensive end, look for the ball to be in the air a lot more often in this game and this year. upressonline.com
