The Owls have won each of their four visits to Charlotte.
Just hours after accepting an offer to join the American Athletic Conference (AAC), the Florida Atlantic Owls (4-3, 2-1 C-USA) defeated the University of Charlotte (4-3, 2-1 C-USA) 38-9 in Charlotte, N.C. This was the first road win for the Owls this season.
Charlotte kept the game close through the first half of the game.
The game was sloppy at first, as Charlotte missed a 44-yard field goal attempt on their opening drive and FAU fumbled the ball on the 49ers’ 20-yard line.
