What a comeback it was in Denton, Texas, as the FAU Owls rallied back to beat North Texas 30-20. Oh yeah, what a quarterback shootout it was this this week.
FAU Owls quarterback, Rusty Smith and North Texas Mean Green quarterback, Daniel Meager threw for combined 623 yards. The biggest change this year from last year has been the play from the quarterback and defensive back position.
Smith, is in the top 30 in passing touchdown and 18th in passing yardage. You talk about stats, let's talk about his stats. In four games, Smith, has thrown for eight touchdowns and threw for 1,105 yards. He has completed 54 percent of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 139.6.
On the defensive side of the field, Tavious Polo has been a shut-down cornerback for the owls. The freshmen, now leads the nation with six interceptions on the year. In the last two games, Polo, has five interceptions; three against Minnesota and two against North Texas.
"i dont focus on stats", said Polo. "I just want to win, if we win it doesn't matter."
FAU is now in first place in the Sun-Belt conference. Next week, FAU looks to upset the 14th ranked Kentucky Wildcats. Can anyone say... Upset city.
