What to Know

The FAU Owls will look to defend their home turf on Saturday against the Ohio Bobcats at 6:00 p.m. ET at FAU Stadium. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

FAU gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Saturday. They took down Monmouth 42-20. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point FAU had established a 28 point advantage.

Among those leading the charge was Casey Thompson, who finished with 298 total yards and five touchdowns. Thompson wound up with a passer rating of 232.1. It was a true group effort though, and the team also got help from RB Larry McCammon III, who rushed for 125 yards and punched in a rushing TD.

Meanwhile, Ohio beat LIU 27-10 on Saturday. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Ohio had established a 24 point advantage.
