Playing from behind for most of the contest, Florida Atlantic's performance on Sunday only confirmed what everyone has been thinking the past few weeks - the Owls are in trouble.
A last-second Hail Mary to Kamrin Solomon looked to seal the battle against Charlotte for the The Owls (1-5, 0-2) but the play was overturned upon review, giving the 49ers the win.
"Proud of how hard our kids fought, but we came here to win and didn't get it done", said Charlie partridge, who moved to 7-23 all time as the Owls' head coach.
Heading into the tilt against Charlotte, which had to be moved due to Hurricane Matthew, FAU was nearly a two touchdown favorite against the 49ers.
