This season is not going the way anyone could have imagined for Florida Atlantic.
The latest loss, a 21-13 decision at home against Louisiana Tech, dropped the Owls to 3-5 on the season and put them 1-3 in Conference USA play, the same Conference USA they ran through all last season en route to the school’s first conference title.
Already down team leader in senior middle linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, FAU was missing starting quarterback Chris Robison, who is much better at home than on the road, at first and Rafe Peavey didn’t provide enough offensively.
