The Owls lost their fourth one-possession game of the season.
In what started as a shootout against conference foe Marshall University, Florida Atlantic University’s inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities turned the momentum and doomed the Owls in their sixth straight loss, 27-21.
With one final chance to take back the lead in the game’s final two minutes, FAU’s offense was unable to convert on fourth down at the Marshall 10-yard line, as the Herd completed its second-half shutout of FAU.
