FAU football put the finishing touches on their best season to date at the FBS level with a 50-3 victory over Akron in the 2017 Boca Raton Bowl before an announced attendance of 25,912 and a national television audience.
"You don’t win bowl games 50-3. Sitting here one year and one week ago, no one would believe this other than maybe me. It is just awesome to see. I am proud of these players", said Head Coach Lane Kiffin.
The Owls kept the bowl market captive as the only contest on for the evening and didn't disappoint, as the running game was successful as usual, defense was stellar, and a healthy dose of pass plays provided setup spark.
