Boca Raton, FL - Two touchdowns scored with a 1:12 time span of the second half wasn't enough as the Florida Atlantic University football team suffered a 20-14 loss to the University of North Texas in Sun Belt Conference action on Saturday at the FAU Stadium.

After trailing 17-0, FAU's offense erupted in the final minute of the third quarter and first minute of the fourth period. The first touchdown came on the team's third trip into scoring territory. Junior running back Damian Fortner capped a nine-play, 73-yard scoring drive with an 11-yard scamper to the right corner of the end zone.

Then, junior defensive back Keith Reaser intercepted a Derek Thompson pass on the first play of the fourth quarter. One play later, senior quarterback Graham Wilbert broke away and scored on an 11-yard scamper. The extra point cut the Owls' deficit to 17-14 early in the final period.

North Texas (2-3, 1-1 Sun Belt) came back to score a 28-yard field goal by Zach Olen with 7:29 remaining to build the six-point lead.
