Florida Atlantic: The Next Step to Greatness, Featuring O-Coach Brian Wright 
Posted on August 8, 2012 at 10:25 AM.
Its looking like another sunny day in Boca Ratone, Florida. And similarly, the football gods seem to be shining their blessing on the FAU Owls. With the presence of new Head Coach Carl Pelini, as well as new offensive Co-ordinator Brian Wright, the Owls seem destined to take that next step towards National Prominence.

So what is the first thing to iron out for the new Offensive Coordinator? Its the QB battle. Who will be the next leader of the huddle for the Owls? Will it be the Senior veteran Graham Wilbert to lead the huddle or will highly touted JUCO transfer Melvin German III bring in the start to a new era?

According to Brian Wright, the word handed down from Coach Pelini is that German and Wilbert will continue to split snaps during the teams first two games, against FCS Wagner on Aug. 31 and at Sun Belt opponent Middle Tennessee on Sept. 9, with the full time starter to be named before the 3rd game against Georgia.

While these 2 QB's seem to be the front-runners, dont discount RS Soph Stephen Curtis who has continued to impress coaches throughout spring and summer workouts.

Another transfer who comes with a lot of promise and at the same time a sketchy past, Duron Carter, son of NFL great Chris Carter. Carter, who started his career at Ohio St, then transferred to Coffeyville CC, before transferring to Alabama, where he never saw the field due to maturity and academic issues. This seems to be the last chance for Carter. He has 2 choices, grow up and become the great player everyone knows he can be or fall off into what could have been.

With only a couple short weeks until the first game, we will begin to see more and more unfold on what many believe could be a defining season for FAU.
