Fordham played Nebraska in their opener and didn’t have much success. The Rams were down 24-7 at the half and didn’t score from there in a 52-7 defeat. QB Tim DeMorat finished with 165 yards, one TD and three picks while Trey Wilson had 75 rush yards on 13 carries. 

In game two versus Monmouth, the Rams couldn’t recover from a 14-10 halftime deficit and fell 26-23. DeMorat managed 352 yards with three touchdowns, and Wilson led the rushers again with his 61 yards from 17 carries.

Over on the Florida Atlantic side, they got a tough draw in week one as well, falling 35-14 to Florida. Quarterback N’Kosi Perry put up 261 yards and a score on 19-of-33 passing, while Dean McAdams caught two balls for 85 yards. Johnny Ford led the rush on 52 yards and a TD as well. 

The Owls matched up against Georgia Southern in game two. Florida Atlantic had an early deficit but ultimately caught fire in a 38-6 win. Perry managed 332 yards with four touchdowns there, and LaJohntay Wester put up 124 yards with a score on seven catches. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with Florida Atlantic. The Owls have played fairly well over their first coupe of games, and they’re coming off a nice offensive performance in week two. FAU had 541 total yards there, with 332 passing and a 7.4 yards-per-play average. 

As for Fordham, they certainly had their opportunities in week two but couldn’t catch the Hawks. Still, the passing game looked good and the Rams will have some positive takeaways. Overall this should be a fun matchup but I like the Owls better on a cover.
