That was quick! Owls span 57 yards on a 12 play, 4 minute long drive to take the early lead.

No huddle, no mercy! Owls convert on 4th & goal from the 1 yard line to take an early 7-0 lead.

Vert fast paced game so far. ODU scores three points three minutes later.

Jalen Young forces an incomplete pass on an ODU 3rd & goal. What a clutch play by the sophomore. Monarch kick a FG as a result. 7-3 FAU lead

Two drives, two TOUCHDOWNS! This drive was 8 plays over 63 yards. The highlight was Wood's 14 yard catch to put FAU within the redzone. He jumped as high as he can, and fully extended his arms to haul that pass in.

Another FAU TOUCHDOWN! Owls take a 14-3 lead with 3:11 left in the first. Motor scores from 2 yards out. The freshman has 52 yards already.

Great first quarter of play for the Owls!

If FAU played every quarter like this one, we'd be playing for a conference championship.

The first quarter is in the books, and #FAU LEADS #ODU 14-3. Driskel is 4-5. Buddy and Motor with a rushing TD a piece.

If we could TACKLE and play offensively that way…

 

Yikes, Shelton Lewis missed an open tackle right when Duhart caught the pass. After receiving his gift, he turns on the jets and takes it 23 yards to the endzone.

After converting on a fourth down, ODU scores their first TD of the day. Owls still lead, 14-10 with 13:44 left in the first half.

Motor takes it home again! Man, the stock on this freshman is SKYROCKETING!

Three plays is all that is needed for the Owls to find the endzone again! Motor is responsible for all 27 yards of the drive. FAU's up 21-10

ODU drives down the field, gaining yards at will until they go within five yards of the endzone. From there, the Owls' defense shows up to force the chip shot field goal. 3:09 left in the first half, Owls still lead 21-13.

Owls DB's giving the Monarch recievers way too much cushion on that drive. ODU completes one short pass after another en route to a FG.

We've hit halftime at FAU Stadium. Owls offense played their best opening half all season. Devin "Motor" Singletary is just 10 yards away from the century mark.
