The 2009 Florida Atlantic University Owls football team will represent Florida Atlantic University in the 2009 college football season. The team will be coached by Howard Schnellenberger and play their home games at Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The Owls will enter their fourth season of competition in the Sun Belt Conference.
Preseason
The Florida Atlantic Owls enter the 2009 college football season hoping to rebound on what was considered a disappointing 2008 campaign. The 2008 team ended the season 7-6 (4-3 SBC), despite returning an overwhelming majority of starters from the 2007 conference champion team. Quarterback Rusty Smith enters his senior season. The 2009 team will look to rebuild on defense, losing defensive star, Frantz Joseph, and a number of other key starters.
The Owls will shoot for their third-consecutive bowl appearance, as last year's squad defeated the Central Michigan Chippewas in the 2008 Motor City Bowl.
The Owls will also have to deal with a new offensive system, as Gary Nord, offensive coordinator for Florida Atlantic since 2004, took the same job at Purdue.
