Part 2 of Ken LaVicka's two-part breakdown of everything that FAU Football head coach Tom Herman told assembled media at AAC Media Days in Arlington, TX. In this edition we take look at the how FAU is going to try to account for the loss of record-breaking production of LaJohntay Wester in that receiver room. Also, why Tom Herman compares FAU to UCF of a decade ago and Ken takes a look into what Herman discussed that provides the most hope for a winning 2024 campaign. Additionally, what challenges does AAC newcomer Army present and we look at how FAU has traditionally handled the service academies? Finally, why Tom Herman believes FAU has a better chance at the College Football Playoff than a majority of Power 4 schools, a reminder of just how dynamic a recruiter Herman is and why, while some of the teams in the AAC are different compared to his first go-around in the league at Houston, the ability to consistently win and help the league be the top Group of 5 conference remains similar.

The FAU Football offseason has been dominated by how much Tom Herman & Co. brought in from the transfer portal, but what about what the Owls are returning from last year? Ken takes a look at what is coming back to contribute...and also gives a sense of how sparse it actually is. Also, just recently the NCAA presented new metrics that the Selection Committee will now have added for consideration when determining who gets into March Madness and how they'll be seeded. Ken conducts a deep dive to see if that would've been good or bad for last year's edition of FAU Basketball.
