Owls take defensive showdown over Hilltoppers

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Western Kentucky's game at Florida Atlantic was delayed roughly half an hour due to lightning in the area.

The offense took additional time to start in Boca Raton.

After a scoreless first half and a struggle for both teams to find points through much of the second, FAU scored on an 11-yard run from backup quarterback Javion Posey with 2:27 to play to beat the Hilltoppers 10-6.

"They just stopped us. They just stopped us," WKU coach Tyson Helton said. "We got down there and couldn't execute. They played good defense and we couldn't make the play.
