Redshirt sophomore quarterback Jason Driskel led his offense down 55 yards on Florida Atlantic’s first drive of the game.
Then the Owls (1-2) flew into a brick wall, en route to a 63-7 defeat — the largest margin of defeat in program history.
The 63 points marks the most allowed by an FAU defense, surpassing the previous record of 61 which occurred twice — a 61-14 loss to Connecticut in 2002 and a 61-10 defeat to Louisville in 2005.
Kansas State’s defense forced a punt and put together a 15-play, 89-yard drive to capture a 7-0 lead.
