THREAD: Good afternoon from FAU Stadium and a thanks to everyone who listened to Football Saturday with @RealCoachK and myself. You guys know the deal. FAU is in the C-USA Championship Game. They win the title by beating UAB. Get started with the advance. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/20191206/fau-football-owls-can-send-coach-lane-kiffin-off-with-second-conference-usa-title-in-three-years
The Palm Beach Post has confirmed through sources that FAU HC Lane Kiffin is headed to Ole Miss. Here’s what we know now. An official announcement could come as soon as today. Here’s what we know now. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/20191207/breaking-florida-atlantic-head-coach-lane-kiffin-reportedly-finalizing-deal-with-ole-miss @pbpsports
FAU’s offensive line has made significant improvements in the last few weeks. They’re unfortunately a secondary storyline to Lane Kiffin’s impending departure, though. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/20191206/fau-football-midseason-improvements-have-owls-offensive-line-confident-ahead-of-conference-usa-title-game
Here is the FAU depth chart
Former New York Yankees manager joe Girardi is here today.
I'll have the gamer, @tomdangelo44 will have a column, @PhillipSuitts is here too and @JeffRomance will have the photos.
DB Meiko Dotson, LB Keke Leroy and LT Brandon Walton are today's FAU captains. It's easy to forget there's a game today.
The red top, silver pants combo for FAU looks like an NCAA 14 design.
Damian Horton draws the start at DE with birthday boy Tim Bonner out for FAU.
FAU drive stalls. UAB starts at its 19.
Damian Horton blows up Dylan Hopkins and FAU forces a punt. Great hit by Horton.
BJ Emmons showing again why he started his career at Alabama. The FAU RB with a 18-yard run and he’s been the early workhorse. Malcolm Davidson now in and he picks up a 22-yard touchdown that is ruled out at the 2. So 20-yard rush but they’re gonna review it.
Ruling stands. Davidson out at the 2.
BJ Emmons sneaks in and Ken LaVicka is screaming. FAU leads 7-0 5:25 left 1Q.
What a TD catch by UAB’s Austin Watkins Jr. There was defensive holding on FAU S Da’Von Brown so the one handed TD stands ... but it is being reviewed.
Incomplete pass, but UAB picks up a first down on Brown’s holding. FAU up 7-0 3:08 left 1Q
UAB kicks a field goal. FAU leads 7-3 1:45 left 1Q
Deangelo Antoine. 75-yard touchdown. His first receiving touchdown since Week 4. FAU leads 14-3 1:32 left 1Q. UAB flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Antoine’s 75-yard touchdown is tied for the longest in C-USA title game history.
Meiko Dotson has nine interceptions this year. The latest just happened. FAU flagged for an illegal blindside block. FAU keeps the ball though.
THROUGH 1: FAU 14, UAB 3
Stat to know: FAU has outgained UAB 180-37
Harrison Bryant Watch: 1 catch for 9 yards

The doctor is in. FAU WR John Mitchell scores an 18-yard touchdown and the Owls have blown this one open. FAU leads 21-3 14:09 2Q.
