The Florida Atlantic Owls (1-2) lost on the road to the Clemson University Tigers (2-1) on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina, 48-14.

On the first drive of the game, FAU graduate quarterback Casey Thompson threw an interception to Clemson junior cornerback Nate Wiggins who ran it back 46-yards to make it a 7-0 lead.

After a short FAU offensive possession, Clemson quickly drove down the field and capped it off with sophomore quarterback Cade Klubnik throwing a 30-yard pass deep down the middle to sophomore wide receiver Antonio Williams to make it a two possession game.
