Florida Atlantic will host the high flying offense of Western Kentucky (5-3, 3-1 Conference USA), who are currently tied for first atop of the conference standings.
This weekend will be a crucial one for FAU, if it has any hopes of salvaging anything out of this season.
One more loss will mean the Owls (1-6, 0-3 Conference USA) will finish the season with a losing record for the third straight year. FAU’s 27-21 loss to Marshall two weeks ago guaranteed that the team won’t finish with a record above .500 for the eighth straight year.
The Owls have won five of the seven meetings between the two teams, a trend they hope to continue this Saturday.
