The Owls concluded their first conference game with a Shula Bowl win.
The infamous rivalry between “the team closest to the beach,” and “the team down south,” returned for another season Saturday afternoon. Though FAU and FIU battled on the Howard Schnellenberger field at FAU Stadium to see which team would walk away 2021 Shula Bowl champions, FAU kept the trophy at home, finishing the game 58-21.
The Owls played an even game or as running back Johnny Ford puts it, “hitting on all cylinders,” as both their offense and defense’s full week practice showed during this game’s performance.
