BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University football team (8-3, 6-1 Conference USA) completed the paces of Wednesday's practice with the mentality of controlling their destiny.
Both teams, the Owls and Southern Miss (7-4, 5-2 C-USA), enter the contest playing for the opportunity to suit up Saturday, Dec. 7 for the C-USA Championship game. Each team can still host the title game as well. All-time, the Owls are 1-0 versus the Golden Eagles.
Along with the outcome of the game potentially affecting five C-USA teams, it will be the final home regular-season contests for 27 members of the FAU football program. FAU will use the opportunity to salute those playing or working for the program during a pregame ceremony.
The seniors to be honored are: Deangelo Antoine (WR), Tim Bonner (DL), Da'Von Brown (DB), James Brunson (WR), Harrison Bryant (TE), Dante Cousart (WR), William Davis (DL), Junior Diaz (C), Kayla Dickerson (Intern), Ray Ellis (DL), Alayshia Green (Intern), LaDante Harris (DB), "Pico" Tavaris Harrison (WR), Damian Horton (DL), Noah Jefferson (DL), Nolan Lynch (TE), Chauncey Mason (RB), Kevin McCrary (DL), DeAndre McNeal (WR), Jared Nourse (OL), Joe Pohiva (LB), Rashad Smith (LB), Jonathan Sullivan (LS), Chris Tooley (DB), Malik Vigille (DB), Brandon Walton (OL) and Trent Wessel (QB).

"Obviously a big game. I compared this with the players, like we have talked about ever since we lost, basically being in the playoffs having to win. We continued to win and now we are basically like in the NFC Championship, and we are playing at home and you have got a chance to win to go to the Super Bowl to win the championship, that happens to be at home. What a great setup to have. Now we have to go out and execute and win this game to get to the championship."

100th Win and Defining Moments
Florida Atlantic University defeated UTSA, 40-26, in the Alamodome on Saturday, marking its 100th win in program history. The Owls (8-3, 6-1 Conference USA) cruised to 526 yards of offense, 182 of which coming from Harrison Bryant – a career high in receiving yards for the tight end. Running backs Malcolm Davidson, James Charles and BJ Emmons all found the end zone; Emmons, playing in his first game since the season opener, led the pack with two. The win moved FAU into sole possession of first place in C-USA's East Division. Cornerback Meiko Dotson corralled his sixth interception of the season – fourth most in FBS. Linebacker Rashad Smith contributed six tackles (two for a loss), a sack and a fumble recovery. The win was a defining moment for FAU, a program that has had many in its brief existence.Click HERE for the full story
