Florida Atlantic University (2-9, 0-7 AAC) squandered a late lead against the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (4-7, 3-4 AAC).
A late fumble by quarterback Tyriq Starks in his first start sealed the game in Charlotte’s favor, 39-27. With QB1 Cam Fancher out, Starks stepped up with 179 passing yards and a touchdown.
Stark’s most significant takeaway from tonight’s game was, “Don’t fumble. We had a chance to win that game, and that was a rookie mistake on my part.”
Florida Atlantic’s running back CJ Campbell Jr. shined once again for the Owls in a run-heavy offense, with a career-high 150 rushing yards off 21 attempts and a touchdown.
