UTSA's American Athletic Conference championship aspirations took a significant blow Thursday night as the Roadrunners were manhandled by Florida Atlantic in a 38-17 defeat at Flagler Credit Union Stadium in Boca Raton.
The Owls' running back Leonard Farrow sparked the home crowd with a long first-half run that set the tone for FAU's dominant performance. Florida Atlantic controlled the line of scrimmage throughout, limiting UTSA's offensive rhythm and capitalizing on Roadrunner mistakes.
The loss drops UTSA's conference record and complicates their path to the AAC title game with only a few weeks remaining in the regular season. FAU improves its standing in the conference race with the statement victory.
