Florida Atlantic had a lot going against it on Thursday night in Denton.
A short week, playing last Saturday night and then again Thursday — far from home. The cold temperatures. Some questionable calls from Conference USA officials. An early 17-0 deficit.
Through all of it, the Owls fought back, claimed a lead but ultimately fell, 41-38, in a result that sets them back to 5-6. They’ll be searching for that sixth victory needed for bowl eligibility when they host Charlotte on Nov. 24.
