MONROE, La. (AP) — Caden Veltkamp threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns, and Ethan Ervin rushed for 139 yards and a score as Florida Atlantic beat Louisiana-Monroe 45-17 on Saturday.
FAU’s win completed a 7-0 day for the state of Florida’s seven FBS programs, just the second time the feat has happened and the first since Oct. 5, 2013.
The Owls (3-1) scored 28 points in the second quarter to turn a 7-7 tie into a 35-17 halftime lead.
Veltkamp connected with Dominique Henry for a 26-yard touchdown early in the second before Easton Messer returned a punt 73 yards for a score. Louisiana-Monroe answered 10 seconds later on Aidan Armenta’s 75-yard touchdown pass to LT Robinson.
Ervin added a 2-yard touchdown run, and Leonard Farrow scored from 1 yard out with 5 seconds left in the half.
Veltkamp found Henry again for a 36-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Henry finished with nine catches for 121 yards and two scores.
FAU finished with 577 total yards, including 245 yards rushing.
