The FAU Owls (2-2) lost to the Air Force Falcons (3-1) 31-7 in a frustrating road loss at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colo. Saturday night.

The loss makes the two schools’ all-time record facing each other 1-1, including FAU’s nail-biting 33-27 win over Air Force in 2018.

“We just didn’t play with the same physicality that they played with and when you don’t do that against an option team, you’re gonna struggle,” head coach Willie Taggart said.
