Can Florida Atlantic Outrush Wagner Seahawks Again After Dominant Ground Game?

In a commanding display of athleticism and strategy, the Florida Atlantic Owls secured a 41-10 victory over the Wagner Seahawks, improving their season record to 2-3. The game, held at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, showcased the Owls' prowess on both sides of the ball. Meanwhile, the Seahawks' struggle continued as they fell to a 2-3 record.

Owls' Offensive Onslaught

The Owls' offense was nothing short of spectacular, amassing a total of 572 yards with an impressive average gain of 8 yards per play. A significant chunk of this yardage came from their relentless rushing attack that accounted for 315 yards across 46 attempts. CJ Campbell Jr., with his explosive runs totaling 145 yards and two touchdowns on just 15 carries, led this charge. Zuberi Mobley and Gemari Sands also made notable contributions to the ground game with Mobley adding another touchdown.

The passing game complemented this rushing onslaught well. Quarterbacks Cam Fancher and Kasen Weisman combined for a total passing yardage of 248 on a completion rate surpassing two-thirds of their attempts despite facing pressure that resulted in one sack and two interceptions.

Defensive Dominance

On defense, the Owls were equally imposing. They limited the Seahawks to just ten points while recording two sacks and twelve tackles for loss among other defensive feats. Chris Jones stood out with one sack contributing to thirteen lost yards for Wagner and several quarterback hits that disrupted Wagner's offensive flow.

Special teams played their part too; kicker Morgan Suarez successfully converted both field goal attempts including one from beyond fifty yards out.
