On Saturday afternoon, the Florida Atlantic Owls (1-2) will see if they can build off of their win last weekend when they face the Wyoming Cowboys (2-1).

Florida Atlantic played their first unranked team on Saturday and let off their frustrations on Tulsa by beating them 50-21 at home. The Owls put up 518 yards of offense in that win and held Tulsa to just 94 rushing yards. Florida Atlantic has only been able to score 19 points per game this year, but that should improve as their schedule gets easier.

Owls quarterback Jaquez Johnson has completed 21 of his 32 passes this season for 379 yards and four touchdowns, and he has also rushed for 37 yards and another touchdown. Wide receiver Jenson Stoshak has just five catches through three games for Florida Atlantic, but those five receptions have gone for 171 yards and one score.

Wyoming lost for the first time this season when they were blown out 48-14 by Oregon on the road last Saturday. The Cowboys turned the ball over three times in the loss and their defense gave up 556 yards. Wyoming has only scored 16 points per game this season, which is 119th in the nation right now.

Wyoming's top offensive player so far this year has been junior running back Shaun Wick, who has rushed for 293 yards through three games with one touchdown. Wide receiver Tanner Gentry has caught 13 passes so far for 150 yards and one score, while Dominic Rufran has 13 catches for 181 yards.
