FINAL: FAU 35, UTEP 31

Re-Tweet Replay

• Perfect November weather tonight. UTEP in white over orange and blue (think Syracuse) and FAU in the all reds. #RedOut #SooWoo
• FAU will try to go for two straight wins in 1 season for first time in Partridge era. Name to keep an eye on tonight: Safety Richie Kittles.
• The Bloods – I mean Owls – come out & will receive after winning the coin toss. FAU will start at their own 23 and it’s Jason Driskel at QB.
• Two plays, two completions. Driskel hits Cameron deep and then Kalib for a first. Motor then takes it 12 yards and FAU already at UTP 22.
• Driskel just got the HFIL knocked out of him as he tries to pull a Michael Vick Madden 04 run. #MOTOR gets in next play for an FAU TD!
• Huge, huge UTEP run into FAU territory called back by a holding call. Next play, Jalen Young gets a nice tackle on a jet sweep. Fly Owls!
• Driskel picked. UTEP takes over at their own 47.
• UTEP scores a rushing TD with 4:22 let after picking off Driskel. Daniel Parr will come in next series for FAU at QB. How long will he stay?
• And now Parr is picked off. That was quick. So two FAU interceptions from their quarterbacks after none last week. That’s no good, Sonic.
• Welcome to the second quarter. UTEP has a second and 1 at FAU’s six to start the second quarter. FAU’s defense bending but not yet broken.
• Miners tight end Sterling ‘Jack’ Napier with a TD catch and UTEP takes a 14-7 lead. Roman Fernandez getting looked at for FAU on sidelines.
• Motor with a huge run..and then a personal foul called on Tyler Cameron. Motor does get another big run next play though. #Optimism
• Driskel back in, finds Piko Harrison, and FAU is driving down the field. After that..Motor with just an amazing, elusive 37 yard score.
• More o-line news (I know, we’re tweeting a lot). Richard Williams (#78) is in at left guard. FAU-UTEP tied at 14 12:06 left in 2nd.
• Well, just when FAU’s defense is playing well, Jalen Young muffs a punt and UTEP recovers at FAU’s 20.
• Jalen Young ejected for a helmet to helmet when it looked like he hit his shoulder pad. Questions for Charlie in post game.
• Major credit to FAU’s defense. Jalen Young muffs a punt, then gets ejected, and defense still holds UTEP only to 3 points. Well done, Roc.
• A little over 4 minutes left in the first half and FAU driving down field. Motor really putting on a show tonight for the Owls.
• At halftime, it’s 17 all. UTEP gets ball to start 2nd. What does FAU need to do to secure the win??
• We’re back and unlike Clemson, FAU doesn’t plan on losing this game. Defense needs to stay sharp and offense needs to #FindAWay
• #TREYED
• That is a huge, huge rush by UTEP and they’re at FAU’s 2. Next play after an FAU offsides, UTEP scores. 24-17 with 11:55 left in 3rd.
• I was too distracted by the magic of Motor to tweet. Greg Joseph makes the kick and UTEP’s lead is now just 24-20. Great drive by FAU.
• Another major play by Piko Harrison gets wiped out by a penalty call on Antonyo Woods. Driskel scrambles on 3rd and 11 and picks up FAU 1st!
• We’re in the fourth quarter and FAU is only down four. This has the makings of a comeback, but can all go well here in Boca?
• Right there is FAU’s season in a nutshell. Ryan Metz is going down, lazily lobs a ball, and Aaron Jones takes it 19 yards to FAU’s 11.
• TD UTEP and it’s 31-20. FAU has 7:34 left to get two scores..now is when you get Buddy involved. Dual threat with him and Motor. #FindAWay
• Jason Driskel just went Madden 04 Michael Vick again. 29 yard scramble and FAU is at UTP’s 7 with about 5 minutes left. #FINDAWAY
• THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS BUDDY HOWELL! GREG HOWELL SCORES TO TIE FAU RUSHING TD MARK. FAU converts two point conversion. #FindAWay
• 3rd and four on FAU’s 44…a stop means UTEP punt. And do they stop him? THEY DO! FAU calls timeout with 2:56 left #Comebacktime
• FAU starts at their own four and needs to A. drive and B. get their guys out of bounds. You have zero time outs left. Now at their 27!
• If your heart isn’t beating really fast right now, you’r crazy. Driskel is showing some clutch genes right now as we approach a minute left.
• FACEMASK. FAU at UTEP’s 35 with 1:03 left. About 10 more yards to FG range.
• 34 seconds left and a first and goal at UTEP’s 7. Honestly, I try throwing to the flats – maybe Cameron – and get him out of bounds.
• TOUCHDOWN FAU!!!!! NATE TERRY IN THE END ZONE AS FAU TAKES A 35-31 LEAD. WOW!!! 25 seconds left for a UTEP comeback attempt.
• PICKED OFF. OCIE ROSE WITH THE PICK!!! FAU TAKES OVER WITH SIXTEEN SECONDS LEFT AND WILL IMPROVE TO 3-7. WHAT A GAME!
  Final from Boca is FAU 35 UTEP 31. WE FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FOR FAU WHERE WINS ARE A PARADISE AYE!!!
