The puzzle is there, but the Owls can't seem to put the pieces together as they pick up their fourth straight loss.
Florida Atlantic sophomore linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair intercepted FIU quarterback Alex McGough and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter.
The Owls three-point halftime lead was extended to 10, and it seemed as FAU had all the momentum to finish the game — until they didn’t.
FIU (1-4, 1-0 Conference USA) went on to score two touchdowns in a span of three minutes, took away all of FAU’s momentum and carried it to a 33-31 win.
