A few more scores by FAU’s Larry McCammon and USF’s Gunnar Greenwald made it 21-14 at Halftime. With a lot more of the game ahead of us, it was looking to be close. After halftime, we quickly found out who was going to win.
FAU by halftime had 14 first downs, 0 penalties, and almost 300 total yards. It really looked like USF made it easy on them. To recap USF played Alabama earlier this season and they held the Crimson Tide 3-3 till the second half. Did USF just completely not plan at all and let their guard down for the dominate FAU?
