Fifth-ranked Ohio State defeated FAU in week one, but now they look to redeem themselves in their home opener against No. 18 UCF. The two teams play this Saturday at 7 p.m.

The Owls surrendered a 28-0 lead to Ohio State in just eight minutes, but FAU stormed back in the second half and outscored the Buckeyes 21-7.
