CJ Campbell Jr. Shines as Owls Secure Second Win of the Season Florida Atlantic University (FAU) delivered a commanding performance Saturday night, overpowering Wagner College with a decisive 41-10 victory. The Owls, now 2-3 on the season, demonstrated early dominance when CJ Campbell Jr. capped a 75-yard opening drive with a 4-yard touchdown run just 32 seconds into the game. This opening statement set the tone for the evening, as Campbell went on to rush for another touchdown, amassing 145 yards on the ground with an impressive 9.7 yards per carry. In the post-game press conference, Campbell attributed his recent success to patience and hard work while acknowledging that the Owls still haven't reached their full potential. "We have yet to play a complete game," Campbell remarked, hinting at the team's room for growth. He also highlighted the competitive yet complementary dynamic between him and second-string running back Zuberi Mobley. Mobley, who averaged 7.0 yards per carry on 11 attempts, added his own touchdown late in the first half, further solidifying FAU's rushing attack.
