The Florida Atlantic football team got torn apart in a 48-14 mauling against the Clemson Tigers on Saturday night at the Death Valley of Memorial Field, falling to 1-2 as a result. Their first win against an ACC team will have to wait, having been unsuccessful in five attempts including this game.
Entering the game as 24-point underdogs, the Owls entered the stadium with a lot of confidence. This propelled them to dance on the Clemson logo at the center of the field during pregame warmups, drawing plenty of boos from Tiger fans.
Unfortunately for the Owls, things went downhill from there as quarterback Casey Thompson threw an interception which the Tigers returned for a 46-yard touchdown less than two minutes into the first quarter.
