We have a change at the QB position, with Agner coming in to relieve Robison.

Justin Agner comes in to replace Chris Robison with three minutes left in the game.

Aaaaaand that was short lived. Ohio State will now takeover with less than two minutes left.

Agner did a solid job of moving the Owls downfield, but he sees his bomb towards the sideline intercepted for #FAU's first turnover of the season.

Some stray horse must have kicked me in the head, I'm only seeing positives (though that's obviously not true).

Great last 45 mins!  Lets carry that momentum

That's all from Columbus. Owls fall to 0-1 on the year, but one has to be proud of how FAU fought back against the #5 team in the country.

FINAL | #OhioState 45 - #FAU 21

The Owls rebounded from a rough first quarter to put a slight scare into the #5 Buckeyes. In fact, FAU BEAT #tOSU 21-17 in the from the first quarter onward.

LOTS to be proud of with our BOYS!

Solid day for Robison, who struggled mightily in the first quarter.

It was great seeing our team make adjustments at halftime. I think Robison looked really good in the 2nd half. Our TE's are our lifeblood. Our defense really played their hearts out from the 2nd Quarter onwards and I think we have a rel winner in Glenn Spencer. Overall: Im very happy with FAU going into our home opener against UCF.

I am super positive after that game! This feels a lot more like Wisconsin where there is a lot to build on. The defense looks like the real deal and Spencer is a big time upgrade. 

Robison looks much better today. Way more composed under pressure. Losing Emmons hurts, but I liked what I saw out of McCammon today. 

A lot to build on going into UCF next week.

Very encouraged by that performance definitely have some positives to build we hung pretty nicely with the #5 team in the country. Let that sink in. If we catch UCF looking ahead next week, watch out. I think that game will be much closer than many realize. Besides Emmons, no other significant injuries to report correct?
