Through 3 Quarters
A great path to victory is to simply outgain your opponent on the field, and that’s working so far for the Air Force Falcons (with 477 yards vs. 174 yards). Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Florida Atlantic Owls 31-7 three quarters in.
Air Force has been led by QB Haaziq Daniels, who so far has accumulated 70 passing yards in addition to rushing for two TDs and 159 yards. Daniels has put himself on the highlight reel with a 94-yard TD scramble in the first quarter.
QB N’Kosi Perry has led the way so far for Florida Atlantic, as he has accumulated 54 passing yards in addition to rushing for one TD and 51 yards.

Current Records: Florida Atlantic 2-1; Air Force 2-1
What to Know
The Air Force Falcons have the luxury of staying home another week and will welcome the Florida Atlantic Owls at 8 p.m. ET Sept. 25 at Falcon Stadium. Keep an eye on the score for this one: these two teams posted some lofty points totals in their previous games, so things might heat up even more when they meet Saturday.
Don’t be fooled by the insanely high score: we promise Air Force and the Utah State Aggies were playing football. Last week, the Falcons were within a late touchdown of stealing the win, but they took the “L” against Utah State 49-45.
Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic made easy work of the Fordham Rams last week and carried off a 45-14 victory. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Florida Atlantic had established a 28-7 advantage.
Air Force is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.
The Falcons and the Owls now sit at an identical 2-1. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Air Force is 188th worst in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, with six on the season. Florida Atlantic has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 187th most rushing yards allowed per game in the nation, having given up 189.3 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
