“Closer to family, but not too close,” would be the sentiment if Taulia transferred to Boca Raton’s FAU.
The quarterback situation there seems to be set on junior Chris Robinson. He threw for 3,701 yards on 291 completions from 471 attempts for 28 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2019.
Yes, Robinson appears to be the favorite for the starting job. However, Willie Taggart makes his debut as the Owls’ head coach in 2020 and could look to change things up. After what happened at FSU, he may look to take a different approach to ensure he puts the best team possible on the field.
It could be a difficult challenge for Taulia, especially since Robinson led the Owls to a 2019 win the the Boca Raton Bowl over an impressive SMU team.
Assuming Taggart forces every starting player to re-compete for the jobs they held in 2019, Taulia might have a shot at earning the position.
There is only one way Taulia doesn’t garner attention from being at a school that went from Lane Kiffin to Willie Taggart. That would be if they are average, or bad, with a quarterback that doesn’t carry much weight on a national scale. This would lead the program to sink back into the shadows of the group of five realm.
