2020 – The 20th Football Season

July 15, 2001 – Florida Atlantic University sat on the precipice of its inaugural football season. At the helm of the program sat a legendary coach, Howard Schnellenberger, whose hands were decorated with NFL Super Bowl and Collegiate National Championship rings. His office, the Tom Oxley Athletic Center, was just months from punch list completion. From the halls of his Oxley Center office, Schnellenberger would coach his team and would mentor his young team through a time of unrest as the nation absorbed the realization of 9/11 one week into the program's inaugural season.
