What to Know

FAU will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. The FAU Owls and the Tulane Green Wave will face off in an American Athletic battle at 12:00 p.m. ET at FAU Stadium.

The point spread may have favored FAU last Saturday, but the final result did not. They took a hard 22-7 fall against East Carolina. Having soared to a lofty 42 points in the game before, FAU's point total in this one was quite the letdown.

Among those leading the charge was Makhi Hughes, who rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown. Hughes hasn't dropped below 100 rushing yards for six straight games.

FAU has traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-6 record this season. As for Tulane, they pushed their record up to 9-1 with that victory, which was their fourth straight at home.
