Florida Atlantic football’s night came down to a game of inches against the University of Buffalo Bulls Saturday.

On fourth and three during his final drive, Owls head coach Lane Kiffin decided to go for it. His team would not get the first down with 2:38 left in the game, leading to the game deciding touchdown by wide receiver Anthony Johnson as Florida Atlantic lost 34-31.
