Ohio State defeated FAU 42-21 thanks in large part to the first quarter of the game. The Buckeyes outscored the Owls 28-0. If this start sounds familiar for the Owls, it’s because it was.
Last year FAU opened against the Oklahoma Sooners and the Owls faced the same deficit following the first quarter.
However unlike last year’s game against the Sooners, the Owls battled back. That alone is a positive sign for the Owls. But there were other positive takeaways too.
Behind the stingy play of the defense, FAU won the second quarter 3-0, as the Buckeyes failed to reach the end zone.
