BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University football stays within the friendly confines of FAU Stadium Saturday, where the team holds a nine-game winning streak that stretches back exactly 700 days to today. The Owls look to extend the streak to 10 when they host the Fordham Rams on Saturday evening, a 6 p.m. kickoff.
The Owls won their home opener last Saturday, went 4-0 on Howard Schnellenberger Field in 2020, and won their final four games on the field in the '19 campaign as well, including both the Conference USA Championship and Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl. Currently, only eight FBS teams have a double-digit home winning streak, with FAU and Miami looking to reach that plateau Saturday.Â

The Captains
As it was the first two weeks, senior running back James Charles (offense), redshirt junior OLB Ahman Ross (defense) and redshirt sophomore punter Matt Hayball (special teams) are the Owls' captains.Â
Series History
The Owls and Rams have not met despite Fordham having football since 1882. Of course, FAU is still one of the newest football programs in the country, having just played its 20th season last year. The program's 18 years as an FBS school makes it the 11th "youngest" in the subdivision.Â
What's Next
The Owls head west next Saturday, to tangle with Air Force, an 8 p.m Eastern start. The team's next home game is the annual Shula Bowl and 2021 C-USA opener, hosting FIU on Oct. 2. Single game tickets for all 2021 home games are available; to experience "Football in Paradise," click HERE or call 1-866-FAU-OWLS.
