BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University football team has kept pace atop the Conference USA East standings with two straight wins. The Owls will face one of the two teams they're tied with in that slot on Saturday, as well as the last team to win against them in FAU Stadium, in Marshall. Kick off on Saturday night will be 6 p.m. in a game streamed on CBS Sports Network on Facebook, and broadcasted on Fox Sports 640AM South Florida.
Each team comes in with identical 5-3 overall records and 3-1 league marks, alongside WKU in the latter to sit a game above both Charlotte and Middle Tennessee in a tight conference race. The last time these two teams met in Boca Raton was Oct. 18, 2019, and the Thundering Herd won on a touchdown with 36 seconds left, 36-31. Since, the Owls have reeled off 12 straight victories on their home turf, tied for the fifth-longest streak in FBS:
