In a hard-fought matchup, the FAU Owls have fallen for the first time in four weeks, as the Marshall Thundering Herd came out with a 36-31 victory.

Marshall opened up the scoring on their opening drive after settling for a 30 yard field goal after a 63-yard drive.

FAU then took the game over, scoring one-yard rushing touchdowns to go up 14-3, but that lead did not last long, as the momentum shifted in Marshall’s favor.
