FAU players dig their new threads

To pull off an upset, FAU football knows much improvement is needed between now and Saturday's game at seventh ranked Georgia. At least they'll arrive in Athens in style.

Just implemented this season, the Owls have new jerseys from their sponsor Adidas. A big change to the three new jerseys (blue, red, and white), are wings on the shoulders. Two of the Owls best defenders approve of the move to new uniforms for multiple reasons.

"They're tight. They fit good," linebacker Randell Johnson said. "It feels like we ain't got no clothes on. It feels like you've just got on a girdle."

"We love them man," linebacker David Hinds said. "It's tight fit, can't really get held by the offense that much because there ain't that much to grab on. It's pretty comfortable."

According to Online Athens, Sanford Stadium is officially sold out this weekend. It might be too bad those jerseys don't include metal armor and ear plugs to combat the rowdy SEC crowd.
