With the win, the Owls showed their depth, discipline, and big-play ability, setting the tone for the rest of the season in front of their home crowd.
Dom Henry of FAU started the scoring, catching a 24-yd pass from Caden Veltkamp for 6. Following that. Kaden Shields-Dutton ran in for a successful 2 point conversion. Florida A&M goes 3 and out and go for the punt but Josh Roberts blocks the punt and Lawrence Johnson falls on the ball in the endzone for a touchdown!
After that, it is all Owls until the 3rd Quarter where FAMU gets a 30 yard touchdown making the score 39-7 in favor of FAU. The Owls scored another touchdown but FAMU followed back with a touchdown of their own. The Owls drive down the field and with a good catch from Branden Hoch giving them good field position.
