Another chance to win a close game for Florida Atlantic turned into another notch on an ugly losing streak.
A late-game Marshall touchdown elicited no answer from FAU, and the Owls flew back home with a fourth consecutive loss by six points or less and a 27-21 loss in front of 22,839 relieved fans in green.
FAU (1-6, 0-2 CUSA) was shut out in the second half, while Marshall (2-4, 0-2 CUSA) won its first game against an FBS opponent this season.
The Herd strung together a 14-play, 80-yard drive that spanned 6:31 and finished with a one-yard Keion Davis touchdown run with less than two minutes to play.
