Fans react to Lane Kiffin and FAU’s ruthless destruction of Akron in the Boca Raton Bowl

Florida Atlantic hosted Akron in the Boca Raton Bowl on Tuesday night, and let’s just say it didn’t go well for the Zips.
Lane Kiffin’s FAU squad scored early and often, putting up 50 points in the Owls’ 50-3 victory over Terry Bowden’s Zips.
Ahead of the first-ever early signing period, Kiffin put together quite the recruiting video for the Owls, going for two, going for it on fourth downs and having a lot of fun while improving to 11-3 on the season.
As the Lane Train continues to chug along, many fans took to Twitter to weigh in on FAU’s destruction of Akron, clearly enjoying what the Owls were doing on Tuesday night:

They need an NCAA football “One Shining Moment” that exclusively shows Lane Kiffin, and the FAU Owl’s improbable run to become The Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl champions.

Lane Kiffin’s FAU team just hit 50 points with nearly 11 minutes left in the 4th quarter. There are going to be a ton of college teams that wish they had hired him come next year.

Lane Kiffin going for it on 4th down up 43-3 in the 4th quarter is exactly why I love him.

Kiffin also signed a 10-year extension with the Owls this week, so we could see this sort of thing in Boca Raton for a few more years to come.
