Defense gives up 358 yards of rushing in Lane Kiffin’s first game in Boca Raton
On a day promising change for Florida Atlantic Football, there was still much of the same for a team in transition. The Owls dropped their 2017 season opener 42-19 to the Navy Midshipmen Friday after failing to find a rhythm under new head coach Lane Kiffin.
Going back to 2014, FAU has only won one home opener out of its last five, coming on a 38-30 victory last year over FCS Southern Illinois.
