Remove Title from Feature Post: Oxygen Theme

I am trying to completely remove the title and box around the text on the feature post for my Oxygen WordPress theme.

HERE is a screen shot.

I can get everything to be hidden EXCEPT the text for the date. Here is what I have:

.featured-post h2.entry-title a, .featured-post .byline {
    color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
    background: none;
}
.featured-post:hover h2.entry-title a, .featured-post:hover .byline {
    color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
    background: none;
}

Can someone help me hide that last bit of text?
