ESPN RECAP

Kejon Owen has 135 yards rushing and a TD, FIU beats Jacksonville State 27-21

MIAMI -- , Joe Pesansky threw two touchdown passes, Kejon Owen had 135 yards rushing and a TD on 21 carries, and Florida International beat Jacksonville State 27-21 on Saturday night to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2019. Florida International (6-5, 4-3 Conference USA) has won three in a row and has four conference wins for the first time since 2018. Dante Anderson forced a fumble by Caden Creel that was recovered by Johnny Chaney Jr . at the FIU 32 and two plays later Alex Perry caught a pass near midfield, eluded three would-be tacklers and raced to the end zone for a 64-yard touchdown that gave the Panthers a 24-21 lead with 12:56 left in the game. Jacksonville State (7-4, 6-1) had its five-game win streak snapped and fell into a three-way tie with Western Kentucky and Kennesaw State atop the conference.
