In a game that would have kept FAU in contention for their second straight Conference USA Championship, FAU’s offense played their worst game of the Lane Kiffin era. I’m emphasizing the offense here because rest assured, they lost this game. Despite a defense that played inspired football to honor team-captain Azeez Al-Shaair, who was lost for the season with a torn ACL, FAU was unable to overcome five turnovers in their 31-7 loss to Marshall.
You read that right folks. 5 turnovers. 5. Marshall started on FAU’s side of the field seven times. The fact that they only managed to score 31 points today is a testament to how well the defense really did perform.
