MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Laurence Maroney rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns and caught another score to lead Minnesota to a 46-7 victory over Florida Atlantic on Saturday night.
Bryan Cupito was 10-for-17 for 230 yards and two touchdowns, including a 56-yarder to Jared Ellerson in the second quarter.
After playing BCS schools Kansas and Oklahoma State tough the first two weeks of the season, the Owls (0-3) managed just 246 yards of offense.
Di Ivory Edgecomb scored the only touchdown for Florida Atlantic, a 1-yard run in the third quarter. He finished with 24 yards on 10 carries.
Maroney capped the half with a 10-yard run, giving the Gophers points on all seven first-half possessions.
Danny Embick was 11-of-24 for 131 yards and an interception for the Owls, who have an extremely difficult nonconference schedule that includes a date with Louisville in two weeks.
Coach Howard Schnellenberger has taken a similar approach to building the program that he did to rebuilding Miami in the early 1980s - play anybody, anywhere.
The Hurricanes became national champions in 1983 under Schnellenberger.
