Non-conference season is coming to an end football fans. Better go ahead and mentally prepare yourself for that.
BUT NOT UNTIL BALL STATE AND FLORIDA ATLANTIC DO BATTLE IN THE SUNSHINE STATE. Cardinals, Owls, the Mid-American Conference, and Conference USA. It’s game of the week in many circles.
FAU comes in licking its wounds. The Owls enter Saturday’s matchup on the wrong end of meetings with Power Five teams the last two weeks, most recently a 63-7 thrashing at the hands of Kansas State. It’s hard to find many positives from the game against the Wildcats, the Owls committed four turnovers and KSU held a four touchdown lead seven seconds into the second quarter.
