With a victory the Owls would win their first ever Conference USA championship.
After a 31-12 win over Charlotte to finish the regular season, FAU football has a rematch with Conference USA West Champion North Texas for each team’s first ever conference championship game appearance.
The Owls (9-3, 8-0 C-USA) finished conference play undefeated and are riding an eight-game win streak, a program high since joining the FBS. They are just the eighth team in Conference USA history to finish conference play undefeated and just the fourth team to finish it 8-0.
