Boca Raton, FL– The Florida Atlantic University Owls (2-5) football team hosts rival University of South Florida (3-4) at Schmidt Family Stadium Friday night.  The Owls jumped in front early behind a strong performance on the ground from running back CJ Campbell, Jr. The Bulls responded with local south Florida product Nayquan Wright who rattled off a 64-yard touchdown run.  The game was a back-and-forth affair all night.   turning point... The turning point in this contest was a 24-point 3rd quarter for South Florida as they scored on the ground and through the air. The key? It was the no-huddle offense that Alex Golesh has been known for and he orchestrated to perfection.  The Owls had no answer. 

Boca Raton, FL- The Florida Atlantic Owls drop their home opener to Army 24-7 behind an terrific rushing performance to the tune of 405 yards on the ground by the Black Knights. FAU was only able to muster 235 yards of total offense and only one touchdown.  The Owls got of to a very slow start going three-and-out on offense the first three drives of the game. Army used that offensive ineffectiveness to build a 14-point lead on the ground.  The Black Knights had over 100 yards rushing in the first quarter.Defensively the Owls had to figure some things out early.  They struggled with reading keys and with discipline on fitting the run on defense but still only trailed 14-7 at the half.  Once the Owls defense had figured Army out defensively, it was the offensive struggles that really sunk the chances in this game for FAU and a late interception thrown by Cam Fancher into double coverage when another receiver ran wide open and would have walked into the end zone, was seemingly the difference.Game Notes:CJ Campbell rushed 8 times for 20 yards for the OwlsCam Fancher was 25-37 passing for 193 yards and 1 TD and 1 INT with a long of 27 yards  UPDATE: 14-0 Army over FAU. Army looks extremely efficient early. 3 plays 64 yards on the scoring drive.— FAU OwlAccess (@FAUOWLACCESS) September 7, 2024 END OF 1ST: 14-0 Army over FAU. Total Offense: FAU -53, Army -174— FAU OwlAccess (@FAUOWLACCESS) September 7, 2024 INT: Army gets a pick on the FAU 5-yard line. It appeared Cam Fancher throw the ball into double coverage looking for Jayshon Platt. Milan Tucker was wide open and would have walked in for a TD from the press box angle.
