FIU loses annual ‘Shula Bowl’ to FAU for the 11th time in 15 tries

Lane Kiffin just got more ammunition for Twitter.

Before Saturday night’s game against bitter rival FIU, Florida Atlantic coach Kiffin – who teeters between confident and cocky – delighted in tweeting that his Owls had more 2017 wins than Florida State and Florida combined.

After Saturday night’s 52-24 win over the Panthers, Kiffin has more to brag about as his Owls clinched a berth in the Conference USA championship game.

FAU (8-3, 7-0) will host the C-USA title game against North Texas on December 2.
