The buses carrying Florida Atlantic's football team departed Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan., on Saturday evening, the memory of a 63-7 loss branded on its collective mind.
It was the program's worst loss ever, a result decided by halftime and one assisted by four FAU turnovers. Less than 48 hours since the conclusion of the game — after a plane ride back to Boca Raton and "great" practice Sunday — the remnants of the blowout remain, even if the Owls try to move on to a date with Ball State on Saturday.
