Danny Embick knows that time's running out on his chances to play football on the "next" level.
Maybe that's why he threw for 299 yards in the season opener on Sept. 3, kicking off his senior year at Florida Atlantic with a bang.
"I'm hoping I can have a good enough year to where maybe I can get into a camp," Embick said as the Owls prepared for Thursday's Sun Belt Conference battle against Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns at Cajun Field. "I haven't done much in college, and now it's my senior year."
That opening-game start against the Kansas Jayhawks was only his second in five years of college football, with the other coming against NAIA member Edward Waters near the end of the 2004 season. He threw for 110 yards in part-time duty that game, an easy 49-15 victory that was part of FAU's 9-3 season.
