Florida Atlantic football fell to 0-8 this past weekend against after losing 39 to 21 to Arkansas State. This was the Homecoming game for FAU against the Sun Belt leading ASU. FAU came into the game 17 1/2 point underdogs. FAU played tough through 3 quarters including take a 21 to 18 lead in the 3rd quarter, but everything fell apart after that. It was the first lead FAU has held in a game since they lead Auburn 3-0.
Graham Wilbert took most of the snaps during the game that many thought Stephen Curtis would begin to see more action. Curtis only had one drive during the game. The star on the offensive side of the ball was once again Alfred Morris who had 163 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the ground.
ASU jumped out to an early 15-0 nothing lead in the first quarter. QB Ryan Aplin had a stellar performance with 249 yards passing and 5 total touchdowns for the Red Wolves. Aplin was able to keep the FAU off balance who was inconsistent throughout the game.
FAU continues to be winless this year and will head back to the road for the Shula Bowl this week. FAU has a chance to break the winless streak to a team that FAU has dominated in the history of the match-up.
