FAU quarterback Chris Robinson was 22-of-34 for 178 yards and a touchdown, while the ground game was bottled up for just 22 yards on 33 carries. Meanwhile, UCF's Week 1 success was spearheaded by the efforts of Adrian Killins Jr., who rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Central Florida quarterback Dillon Gabriel passed for 127 yards and three touchdowns. However, the level of competition will improve dramatically on Saturday.
Two stats from last season to keep in the back of your head: The Owls were 13th in the nation in rushing touchdowns, finishing the 2018 season with 35. But the Knights were even better; they ranked fifth in the nation in rushing touchdowns, closing the year with 43 overall.
