The Florida Atlantic Owls faced a challenging start to their season, falling to the Maryland Terrapins with a 39-7 scoreline. This result places the Owls at 0-1 while the Terrapins begin their campaign with a 1-0 record.
First Quarter
The game kicked off with both teams showing determination. The Owls managed to keep pace early on, matching the Terrapins' initial touchdown. A notable moment came from Jabari Smith, who contributed significantly in receiving yards for FAU. However, despite their efforts, they couldn't maintain momentum as the quarter ended evenly at 7-7.
Second Quarter
In this period, Maryland's offense took control of the game. The Terps scored an impressive 26 points without reply from FAU. The Owls struggled defensively against Maryland's relentless attack and failed to capitalize on any offensive opportunities themselves. Caden Veltkamp attempted to rally his team but was intercepted four times during his passing attempts.
Third Quarter
Maryland continued their dominance into the third quarter by adding another six points to their tally while keeping FAU scoreless again. Despite some promising plays from Gemari Sands in rushing attempts and Easton Messer's receptions contributing first downs for FAU, it wasn't enough against Maryland’s solid defense.
