- Players are out on field! FAU is decked out in their all-red. Ball State rocking an early 2000’s Arizona Cardinals like white on red.
- Player to watch today for FAU: Ocie Rose. Rose had been bothered by a lingering ankle injury and says he’s all caught up now.
- Here we go again with the lightning. Major strike in front of FAU press box. And there’s another! And another!
- Both teams are coming off field and we are in our second lightning delay. Looks like FAU student section is moving out as well.
- If we have another 30 min delay, we could be looking at 7-7:10 start time. It’ll be very interesting to see how both teams respond.
- 15 minutes worth of warm ups so we’re going for about a 6:55 kickoff time. Earlier than some expected but not the worst. #FAU
- FAU will receive to start the game after Ball State defers. Whyte to the 19 yard line and WE ARE (finally) UNDERWAY! #FindAWay
- It’s early. Just two minutes in but Driskel seems calmer, more composed. Maybe two straight losses and being subbed out hit him hard?
- Tarrick Thomas is down for Owls and is being looked at. He will walk off under own power with trainers but this hurts FAU big time to start.
- There’s that FAU defense again. Third down and they let up a first down pass play despite pressure on QB. More of the same for the Owls.
- The Mask of Soroh strikes again. Another turnover forced by the redshirt sophomore — his second pick of the year — and FAU has ball.
- So, Jason Driskel and Kalib Woods are like Montana-Young or Manning-Harrison. Major pass play from QB to WR has FAU in Ball State RZ.
- Jason ‘Cam’ Driskel rushes it in for a score. 7-0 FAU with 7:26 left. The offense and defense each did what they had to. That type of night.
- At this point, FAU is going to learn how to wrap up and tackle when Florida stops being hot. Ball State now on FAU’s 37 and driving.
- FAU forced a stop.
- FAU is playing solid offense.
- FAU is playing solid defense.
- But FAU lets up a sack which is to be expected with o line.
- FAU is 2-2 on fourth down conversions. We’re in the first quarter. Nearly everything is going right for the Owls so far..
- DRISKEL’S GOT WOODS. The Owls’ second score of the quarter and they’re up 14-0 after another Woods catch! FAU looks reborn tonight.
- Riley Neal takes Ball State down the field to make it a 14-7 game. Let’s hope those nice FAU defensive stands wasn’t a one-quarter thing.
- Good news: FAU gets a first down on a throw to Harrison Bryant!
- Bad news: The ball is fumbled!
- Worse news: Ball State Recovers.
- 14-14 game. Ball State has scored twice in five minutes.
- So John made it Raine and Nate Terry just hauled in a massive 47 yard gain. Then…KERRITH WHYTE? The running back puts FAU up with a score!
- 21-17 FAU after Ball State kicks a field goal. 5:42 left in the first half here in Boca.
- Would I consider going for it on fourth and goal on the one? Maybe, but FAU playing it safe and going up seven works. 24-17 good guys.
- Ball State is at FAU’s 25 with 19 seconds left in the first half. Knowing law of averages, FAU either forces turnover or lets up score.
- FG no good!! We’re at half and FAU is up by a 24-17 score. Let us know your thoughts on the game. Who’s your player of the game so far?
- We are back in Boca. The fog’s cleared up, the lightning’s gone, and FAU will start this half on defense. #FindAWay
- Driskel goes down and the lightning is back in the skies above FAU. That’s either a sign of things to come or @JakeElman jinxing us again.
- Teams are back on field. Fans finding their seats – or better ones they didn’t pay for. 5 minute warm up time..and more lightning. #FindAWay
- Owls back on offense. Driskel driving down field. Seems like the Trickett offense is finally working wonders for FAU.
- Wake up. We’re tied. Ball State scores on a Corey Lacanaria touchdown and we’re knotted up at 24. FAU getting ball back with 1:46 left.
- Kalib Woods is human. The red hot wideout fumbles after a nice catch and Ball State has the ball on their 48 yard line. It’s Trey time..
- PLAY REVERSED. FAU has the ball at Ball State’s 28 (mistype earlier when I said 48) and now the Owls will try to reclaim the lead.
- FAU on to kick a FG. Greg Joseph enters this kick perfect on the year…and he makes it. 27-24 Owls with 9:18 left tonight.
- Four. Four lightning delays. This one with 5:33 left in the game. Where’s the count when you need him??
- Couple things to note. Number one: C-USA rules dictate a game CANNOT resume after midnight. If game is not resumed, game ends 27-24 FAU.
- Even though this is non-conference game, NCAA rules dictate N-C game rules are followed by home team’s conference rules. C-USA here.
- *wakes up from slumber* we’re back in Boca. 5:33 on the clock, FAU needs to hold this lead to enter conference play 2-2.
- So Ball State is in FAU territory. Now would be a good time for Trey Hendrickson to, as @ItsOwlTime puts it, #Treyed
- First and goal for Ball State with under 3 min left. FAU needs a stop. Not losing but put your rally caps on.
- The Owls have been grounded..for now. 31-27 Cardinals with 1:47 left on the clock. We need a #DriskelMiracle hashtag that out folks!
- Owls will start from their own 35. FAU needs this game. #DriskelMiracle
- 4th and 15 and we need a #DriskelMiracle. Stadium is nearly empty…and intercepted. What a heartbreaker in Boca..
FAU loses their third straight. That’s all from Boca. Night folks.
