FAU in the hunt for conference title

With Florida Atlantic University's football team beating Arkansas State on Saturday, FAU is now back in the hunt for the Sun Belt Conference Championship. Winning the conference would give FAU an automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl.

FAU beat the Indians 29-0, led by an outstanding performance by their defense - forcing five interceptions.

The crowd was smaller than expected, but the enthusiasm was not. With the alcohol ban lifted at Lockhart, students partied in the parking lot and came into the game to watch FAU jump to an early 13-0 lead going into halftime.

Brianna Bragg and Jonathan Styles were crowned FAU's Homecoming King and Queen. Both are resident assistants at FAU Boca.

Next up for the Owls will be Middle Tennessee State on Saturday in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The game will be televised.
