Motor City Bowl Summary: I can’t say that I follow Florida Atlantic OR Central Michigan during the regular season, but they gave us yet another great bowl game. I had Central Michigan pegged to win, given their better record and the fact that this was more of a “home” game for them than for FAU.
Florida Atlantic definitely didn’t dominate, but they were able to do what matters – run down the clock at the end. FAU quarterback Rusty Smith had a great game, with 307 yards and two touchdowns, but props to Central Michigan as well – they held their own. 
By the way, someone forgot to tell the Florida Atlantic Owls dance team that Michigan is COLD in December ——>
Overall Records: Florida Atlantic 7-6, Central Michigan 8-5
