Good Morning, FAU Family.

Easton Messer hauled in three touchdowns and the FAU defense snatched three turnovers as Florida Atlantic downed Tulsa, 40-21, on Homecoming at Flager Credit Union Stadium.

It’s the third time this season the Owls dropped 40 points at home. Messer’s three-TD game was the first multi-score game of his collegiate career, while Jayshon Platt had his second 100+ yard receiving game in a row. Meanwhile, RB Kaden Shields-Dutton posted the first 100+ yard game of his career.

Defensively, Damarius McGhee’s 95-yard fumble return marked the second-longest in program history, while Leon Hart Jr. led the team with 12 tackles and Tyler Stolsky added 11.
