For the Record: The American has a 34-year rematch, a touchdown collector, and a 28-year-old punter
Week 5 in the American features a neighborhood reunion and a reminder of the people who preserve these stories.
Florida Atlantic's Easton Messer has become a prolific scorer, collecting touchdowns through rushing, receiving, passing, and punt returns. His versatile contributions led to the Owls' 45-17 victory over ULM, and he earned American Special Teams Player of the Week honors for a 73-yard punt return touchdown. Meanwhile, Tulsa's Max Tulen, born in 1998, has been punter for the team for 28 years.
The Tulsa native, who arrived from Bethune-Cookman University, led the Southwest Athletic Conference (SWAC) with a 44.6-yard punting average and a 64-yard punt against Jackson State. Navy's senior cornerback Ira Oniha, born to Nigerian parents and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, is the second of four quadruplets.
