Overview
- Florida Atlantic beat UTSA 60-29 in Boca Raton Thursday night, finishing with 566 total yards and 342 rushing yards to earn its sixth win and bowl eligibility.
- Quarterback Caden Veltkamp was efficient, completing 17 of 25 passes for 210 yards and four touchdowns while Easton Messer accounted for three receiving TDs and a passing score.
- FAU's Leonard Farrow ran for 126 yards including a 59-yard touchdown that helped seal the game as the Owls controlled the line of scrimmage and forced two fumbles.
- UTSA's offense produced 265 passing yards from Owen McCown and three touchdowns, but the Roadrunners were sacked six times and their defense failed to contain big plays.
- The loss drops UTSA to 7-2 and 4-1 in conference play, making next week's home game against North Texas far more consequential for the American title and Group-of-Six playoff hopes.
