BOCA RATON, FL - Florida Atlantic University's football team had a spirited practice on Wednesday in preparation for its game against North Texas on Saturday. The offense provided two highlight reel worthy plays on Wednesday as Travis Jones made a touchdown run against the defense that included several cutbacks and changes of direction and Rusty Smith hooked up with Jamari Grant on a long completion down on the middle of the field.

The squad is scheduled to practice 3:30 p.m. Thursday. Head Coach Howard Schnellenberger announced that Thursday's practice will be held on the infield of the FAU Track Facility. All practices are free and open to the public.
