Staff Predictions: Owls set their eyes on second win against Huskies
Last week, Florida Atlantic University’s football team (1-2, 0-1 AAC) gained their first win of the season after defeating their South Florida rivals, Florida International University Panthers (1-2), 38-20.
The Owls head back on the road this Saturday to play the University of Connecticut Huskies (1-2) at 7 p.m. in East Hartford, Conn.
The Huskies are coming off a 26-21 loss to Duke University (3-0). Going into the third quarter, UConn was winning 21-17 but Duke came back in the fourth with a field goal. Then, with 11:49 to go, Duke completed a 20-yard pass for a touchdown, but the two-point conversion was unsuccessful.
