If seven consecutive must-win Conference USA games is what it’ll be for Florida Atlantic, the Owls scratched the first one off the list.
Quarterback Chris Robison providing an early spark, running back Kerrith Whyte scored three touchdowns and Devin “Motor” Singletary secured the game in the fourth quarter as FAU bounced back from a crushing loss in its conference opener at Middle Tennessee State to take down Old Dominion 52-33 on Saturday night at FAU Stadium.
The Owls (3-3, 1-1 C-USA), essentially needing to win out and get help elsewhere within the conference to achieve their goals of repeating as Conference USA champions, extended their home win streak to 10.
