Florida Atlantic raced out to a commanding 28-0 lead behind Kaden Shields-Dutton's three rushing touchdowns and quarterback Caden Veltkamp's precision passing attack. The Owls maintained control throughout despite UAB's Solomon Beebe scoring twice in the second quarter to briefly cut into the deficit. Veltkamp connected with multiple receivers for touchdowns, including two scoring strikes to Asaad Waseem in the third quarter, as the Owls cruised to a dominant 61-33 victory at Flagler Credit Union Stadium.
