Florida Atlantic Buries UL Monroe 45-17 on the Ground and Through Henry
Dom Henry caught nine passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns, and Florida Atlantic turned that into a 45-17 win at UL Monroe. It was his best game of the season by a mile: 33.1 fantasy points, against 10.4 a game over his first three.
It started even. AJ Johnson ran in from eight yards to open the scoring, and Aidan Armenta hit Jase Hoath from a yard out to make it 7-7 late in the first quarter. That was the last time the game was level. Henry's 26-yard touchdown made it 14-7, and then Easton Messer took a punt back 73 yards to make it 21-7. ULM answered ten seconds later on the clock (11:53 to 11:43) with a 75-yard Armenta pass to LT Robinson, the kind of response that feels great and changes nothing. Take away the punt return and it is still 38-17.
The Owls went to the half up 35-17 after Ethan Ervin (two yards) and Leonard Farrow (one yard, with 5 seconds left) ran it in. Henry's 36-yard catch in the third pushed it to 42-17, and Collin Rogers kicked a 29-yard field goal in the fourth for the last points of the day.
The yardage is lopsided in a way the passing numbers hide. FAU ran 45 times for 237 yards; ULM ran 25 times for 54. FAU finished with 570 total yards to 332, with no turnovers and two sacks. ULM actually threw for 278 yards without a single giveaway and still lost by 28. Efficiency is not the same as points, as it turns out.
Florida Atlantic is 3-1. UL Monroe is 0-4. For fantasy, Henry was the headline, Caden Veltkamp gave you a steady 24.8 on 29 of 38 passing, and Armenta (22.1) had his best game of the year for a team that could not use it.
