FL Atlantic vs. Florida Odds & Betting Predictions - September 5, 2026

- Between all FBS playcallers, Buster Faulkner has the fifth-highest QB usage rate in the run game at 30% of all carries. For a frame of reference, that’s 6% higher than Drew Cronic with Navy. - Philo’s only career start came against Gardner-Webb a game that a total blowout so they didn’t need to use him in the run game. - But his other meaningful action with Georgia Tech came in a game against NC State when he replaced Haynes King and he ran the ball seven times in 3+ quarters of action. - FAU has a vastly improved pass rush this year, they nabbed Jonathan Bax from TCU, Jay Crable from Ohio and Kenyon Garner who was the TFL national leader in D2 football last season. This is key for two reasons, one sacks count as rushing attempts and two if they can pressure him to move, they could pressure him to run the football.
