Analyzing the past games, it's clear that the Owls have been improving steadily. Their victory over the Roadrunners with a commanding score of 24-3 showcased their defensive prowess as they racked up an impressive seven sacks and allowed zero touchdowns. The offense was equally effective, with a balanced attack resulting in over 300 total yards.


In contrast, their away game against Marshall ended in a loss with only nine points scored by the Owls. Despite this setback, they demonstrated strong defensive capabilities by intercepting two passes and holding firm on third-down conversions nearly half of the time.


The most notable trend is their consistent performance at home. In another close encounter against Charlotte's 49ers, which ended with a narrow win for the Owls (21-17), they showed off an explosive rushing game that accumulated over 200 yards and included an impressive long touchdown run of 49 yards.


FAU Stadium has been a fortress for Florida Atlantic, providing them with an edge thanks to familiar surroundings and supportive fans. The team has shown that they can put up points while also making key stops when it matters most.
