What to Know

The Florida Atlantic Owls and the SMU Mustangs have had some time off and are no doubt ready to hit the field. Florida Atlantic and SMU will compete for holiday cheer in the Boca Raton Bowl on Saturday at FAU Stadium at 3:30 p.m. ET test. The Owls are coming into the contest hot, having won six in a row.

When you finish with 381 more yards than your opponent like the Owls did two weeks ago, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They put a hurting on the UAB Blazers to the tune of 49-6. Florida Atlantic QB Chris Robison was slinging it as he passed for four TDs and 267 passing yards on 37 attempts in addition to picking up 30 yards on the ground. Near the top of the highlight reel was Robison's 75-yard TD bomb to WR Deangelo Antoine in the first quarter.

Meanwhile, SMU didn't have too much trouble with the Tulane Green Wave three weeks ago as they won 37-20. No one put up better numbers for SMU than RB Xavier Jones, who really brought his A game. He rushed for two TDs and 125 yards on 18 carries.

SMU's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for QB Justin McMillan and got past Tulane's offensive line for a total of five sacks for a loss of 14 yards. The heavy lifting was done by S Patrick Nelson and DE Delontae Scott, who each racked up two sacks.

Their wins bumped Florida Atlantic to 10-3 and SMU to 10-2. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Owls rank 19th in the league when it comes to overall touchdowns, with 56 on the season. But the Mustangs are even better: they enter the matchup with 66 overall touchdowns, good for sixth best in the nation. We'll see if that edge gives the Mustangs a route to victory.
