FAU's Offense Turns Over Its Receiving Corps Around a Returning Quarterback. The defining storyline in Boca Raton is roster reshuffling on the perimeter, not under center.

Bull Case
8-4If Veltkamp's familiarity with the staff's scheme lets the new pass-catchers play fast right away, FAU can push past 6.2 and steal one of those…
Bear Case
5-7If the timing lags into October, a below-average defense won't have the margin to cover for it, and this settles in right around its floor.
