In a pivotal matchup involving the race for a spot in the C-USA championship game, the FAU Owls (5-4 overall, 3-2 C-USA) fell 28-13 to the Marshall Thundering Herd (6-3 overall, 4-1 C-USA). The loss snapped FAU’s 12-game home winning streak, which was tied for the fifth-longest streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
“It was a tough loss for our football team. We didn’t play well in all three phases of the game against a good football team,” said head coach Willie Taggart.
Marshall broke the game open on the opening kickoff with sophomore wide receiver Jayden Harrison returning a 99-yard touchdown to the endzone, but FAU retaliated almost immediately with a 27-yard touchdown pass from graduate quarterback N’Kosi Perry to junior wide receiver Brandon Robinson.
