Florida Atlantic at Troy

This game is for all the marbles in the Sun Belt, with the winner moving on to the New orleans Bowl vs Memphis. Florida Atlantic comes in with valuable experience gained in games vs South Florida, Oklahoma State, Minnesota and Kentucky. They actually beat Minnesota and took S. Florida deep into the 4th quarter with the game in balance. They have posted a good 5-1 mark in league play, the only blemish an OT loss to UL Monroe. Troy had a difficult out of conference schedule as well, and ran the table in the Sun Belt, without to many close games. Florida International possesses a good passing game, and one thing Troy has struggled with is keeping teams out of the endzone when they get close, as they have allowed 18 rushing TDs. Florida International has the ability to score some points, and keep this one a lot closer than it may look.
