Florida Atlantic University

Interests me a little bit.

And FAU versus North Texas.

There's some monster

games this week.

And it's just a guy that fascinates me.

I had an opportunity to interview him when he was at FAU when I was still a student in Alabama for an end-of-season project.

and his season.

I have such football brain.

And I think that that's kind of the essence of Belmont offense.

Now he's going to put some some of his own twists things that he's learned over the years uh coach brads on what that looks like versus what we saw in under coach alexander but i think there's gonna be a lot of similar similarities and that will establish an efficient floor for the offense to run and i think outside of that i think the biggest question marks remain is you know how good can this defense be uh obviously you know the bigs they bring in with Nuga Bauer coming from FAU, some of the lesser-known guys like Lemke, who hasn't played a lot yet, but he is getting older and is 6'10", and Knowles is a 6'10 freshman.

How can you effectively use those bodies for rebounding, rim protection, and getting stops, which is the name of the game in the Missouri Valley Conference for most schools? Now, Belmont kind of broke the code last year.

The offense was so darn elite, finished top 40 nationally and clearly the best offense in the Valley by a mile.

Has certainly been effective in the past, but not this year with Florida.

If they can get him and Vernell Brown back, that would be the first time this season where you have both guys near 100% since the season opener against FAU.

In their absences, Florida has relied on Dallas Wilson, who had a standout freshman season in just four games.

I know he was injured a whole ton, but looked really good in the win over Texas last year and has looked really good this year.

And

then you played a really good FAU

team.

You played what was a really good South Alabama team offensively that week.

He's had minimal usage.

really wasn't a factor until the the second half of the old miss game wasn't a factor much still dealing with some ankle discomfort but he's getting closer to 100 he ran over 22 miles per hour on the treadmill where they like to see if you can hit 90 of your top speed and for him 90 is 22 miles per hour because he's the fastest guy on florida's team runs over 23 miles per hour has certainly been effective in the past but not this year with florida If they can get him and Vernell Brown back, that would be the first time this season where you have both guys near 100% since the season opener against FAU.

Okay.

So the reason I played that, because they're on the field clearly, is that SportsCenter is in Denton tonight for the UNT football game as they take on Florida Atlantic.

Let's go.

And UNT is letting all kids out of class afternoon.

That's funny.

It was, it was, it was, it was different back then for sure.

Okay, well, this element of the show, one of the FAU students is going to come up and we're going to participate in a game show that they put together for us.

Oh, this is good news.

We've got the friendlier host.
