Florida Atlantic rallies to beat Rice 17-14

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — N’Kosi Perry’s 18-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Jahmal Edrine gave Florida Atlantic its first lead and two late interceptions preserved it for a 17-14 win over Rice. Trailing 14-10, FAU looked to have taken the lead at the end of third quarter but LaJohntay Wester had a reception knocked loose at the goal line and out of the end zone on Kirk Lockhart’s hard hit for a touchback. But Perry and Edrine connected on FAU’s next possession and picks in the end zone by Dwight Toombs and Armani Adams ensured the victory.
