In the "Game of Bones" story series, we revisit our teams' most crushing defeats and most glorified victories. Moments that ruined dreams and ended eras as well as moments that brought triumph and established a powerhouse. Florida Atlantic’s 2015 loss to the University of Florida is the Owls’ Red Wedding.
If I had to pick any matchup whose result mattered most to Florida Atlantic, I'd have plenty to choose from. Two bowl games, key wins against FIU in the Shula Bowl or even the Owls' Sun Belt championship title win could all take the spot. But if I'm selecting a moment that could have been a program defining event, but did not come to fruition, it would be the Owls' game with the University of Florida Gators.
