BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University football returns home for the first time in nearly a month, and will have Homecoming festivities before a 6 p.m. tilt against UTEP at FAU Stadium. Fresh off soundly defeating Charlotte, who came into last week's matchup undefeated in league play, the Owls (4-3, 2-1 Conference USA) will battle another unblemished C-USA foe in the Miners (6-1, 3-0 C-USA).Â
In last Thursday's contest against the 49ers, the Owls trailed 9-7 at the half, but put up 31 unanswered points to close out the game. There is now a logjam at the top of the C-USA East Division standings, with FAU and Charlotte, as well as Marshall and WKU, all sitting at 2-1. On the other side, the West, both UTEP (3-0) and UTSA (4-0) have yet to suffer a loss.
Additionally Saturday, FAU's home winning streak continues to be put on the line. Only one school had a chance to extend or see their streak snapped last week, and it was the latter, with Army falling at home to Wake Forest, 70-56. That was the Black Knights' first home loss after 13 win in a row, which was fifth-highest heading into the weekend.

Series History
The FAU-UTEP series stands at 1-1 with each team winning on their own home field. The Owls fell 27-17 in 2015 in El Paso and were 35-31 winners in Boca Raton in 2016. Oddly enough, there are four current Owls were on that latter squad, but none saw action. They are second-year captain and running back James Charles and then-receiver and now-tight end John Mitchell, as well as defenders Korel Smith and Jordan Helm.Â
What's Next
It'll be back-to-back home games for FAU, as next Saturday, Nov. 6, Marshall comes to town. That night is Miliary Appreciation Night. The game will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network, and will once again be a 6 p.m. kickoff. To experience "Football in Paradise," click HERE or call 1-866-FAU-OWLS.  Â
