FAU (4-3, 2-1 C-USA) will return to FAU Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 30. They are scheduled to play the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) (6-1, 3-0 C-USA).
These two teams have only met twice, with the last meeting occurring in 2016. The Owls won that game 35-31.
FAU is scoring 30.9 points per game and allowing 21 points per game. UTEP is averaging 24.9 points and they are conceding 19.3 per game.
According to the stat sheet, FAU should beat the Miners, but the Owls cannot underestimate UTEP.
Here are some keys to the game if FAU wants to get past UTEP on Saturday:
Run the Ball
Despite running the ball 40 times in the victory over Charlotte last week, head coach Willie Taggart was still looking for more, as he said the game plan involved rushing the ball 60 times.
