The Florida Atlantic Owls (2-3, 1-0 AAC) defeated the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane (3-3, 1-1 AAC) 20-17 at FAU Stadium on Saturday evening in their American Athletic Conference debut.
“We’re gonna celebrate the hell out of this,” head coach Tom Herman said after the game. “This is the first win in our program’s history in this conference, and that’s something to be celebrated, especially against a team that has resided in this conference since its inception.”
This was the Owls’ first time winning in their conference debut.
Although Herman described it as an “ugly win,” it was a win that ended FAU’s three-game losing streak, nonetheless.
