Mora presser highlights-

-confirms Mel Brown can play this week and still redshirt.

- expects everyone who went out to come back this week. Good shape health wise.

- FAU presents different challenges than last week. Throws a lot. Has played good teams tough. Good at home. 3-1 at home. Has one of the top receivers.

Sorry… “work” got in the way.

Will be good to have Mel Brown back out there again. He's another home run hitter.

And a nice change in style compared to Cam. Nice to have Mel available.

Now that this season's ship has righted itself and the team is 8-3, it's nice to not be triggered or have Stockholm Syndrome when I hear a coach talk about defensive players and where their eyes are during a play. During the down times, hearing those words would remind me even though things suck, it can get worse.

Now? It's almost humourous.

I would only play Mel if needed. I would save him for the bowl game.

-> “I am proud of this,” Mora continued: “There’s only two teams in the Group of Five, us and Tulane, that have beat two Power Four teams this year. We wish we were 3-0, we’re 2-1, that’s behind us and now all our energy is just on trying to prepare to do the best we can against FAU.” <-

-> FAU’s Caden Veltkamp is right behind UConn’s Joe Fagnano on the national passing yards leaderboard with 2,971 on the season (Fagnano is sixth, Veltkamp is seventh). Veltkamp, a redshirt-junior who transferred from Western Kentucky, has completed 66.3% of his passes this year with 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. His former teammate at WKU, Easton Messer, has been his top target with 83 catches on the year for 847 yards and five touchdowns – one of three receivers to find the end zone five times. <-

I've been following Veltkamp and Messer all year, they are a really solid duo. I'm not overly concerned about Veltkamp though, he throws a ton of picks... Hoping Chadwick and Brinson are licking their lips thinking about this matchup

I don't think the Bowl game counts against his 4.

Correct.

There is over a month between this game and any bowl game. I think that's enough time for him to rest...

Any fellow Husky fans tailgating down there?

I was thinking if he is not fully recovered. You do not want to risk an injury that goes into the off season.

I’ll be there

If anyone needs a single ticket. DM I have an extra in section F212. Here in Delray and it looks like weather is going to be a factor tomorrow 80° or so throughout the game. Great for the beach, but a little bit of a shock if you're putting the pads on from CT. I'm going to try to hit both pregames. If you're unfamiliar with the area, Boca has some nice little places, but I prefer Atlantic Avenue in Delray if you want to take a walk. It's just that parking's tough here.
