What you should know
The Florida Atlantic Owls return home after a two-game road trip. They take on the Rice Owls at 6 p.m. ET at FAU Stadium on Saturday after a week-long break. Rice should still ride high after a win while Florida Atlantic will look to put the ship back on track.
Florida Atlantic ended up well behind the North Texas Mean Green when they played two weeks ago and lost 45-28. Florida Atlantic was down 42-21 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Despite the loss, they had strong performances from QB N’Kosi Perry, who passed on 50 attempts for two TDs and 295 yards, in addition to a rushing touchdown, and RB Larry McCammon III, who snatched a TD and received a TD. McCammon III hadn’t helped his team much against the Purdue Boilermakers three weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
While not a dominant performance, Rice beat the UAB Blazers 28-24 two weeks ago. No one had outstanding play on offense for Rice, but they did pick up points from RB Ari Broussard and RB Dean Connors.
Florida Atlantic is the favorite in this instance with an expected 4-point lead over the win. Those who burned by picking them against the spread two weeks ago should consider that the team has yet to drop consecutive games against the spread this season.
Florida Atlantic is now at 2-4 while Rice sits at 3-2. A few stats to keep in mind as you watch: Florida Atlantic ranks 16th nationally for passing touchdowns, with 15 on the season. But Rice comes into the matchup and has the 32nd fewest passing touchdowns allowed in the nation with seven. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
