The Owls have shown a balanced attack in their past performances with a particularly strong showing on defense. In their last game against the Charlotte 49ers, they managed six sacks and forced one fumble while holding their opponents to just 17 points. This defensive prowess will be crucial as they go up against a formidable home team.


Offensively, the Owls have demonstrated an ability to move the ball effectively on the ground with 217 rushing yards in their previous outing and an average of over six yards per carry. Their passing game was less explosive but efficient enough to contribute two touchdowns through the air.


Special teams also played a role in securing victory for Florida Atlantic with four touchbacks on kickoffs and punting that averaged nearly 46 net yards per attempt.


However, it's not just about individual statistics; it's about how these numbers translate into coordinated team performance. The Owls' recent win showcased this synergy—defense creating opportunities for offense and special teams setting up favorable field positions.


Looking ahead to their encounter at Joan C. Edwards Stadium—a venue known for its passionate fan base—the Owls will need to maintain focus and execute across all phases of play if they hope to come away with another win.


Fans can catch all the action live on STADIUM network as Florida Atlantic looks to build upon its current record when they take on Marshall Thundering Herd on October 24th at 6:30 PM local time (UTC). With both teams eager for victory, this matchup promises intense competition from kickoff till final whistle.
