    <description>Rusty Smith tried to keep his frustration bottled up. But the longer FAU&amp;#39;s senior quarterback spoke, the more his irritation seeped out.&amp;lt;p/&amp;gt;   Two points and about 40 yards short of perhaps leading the Owls to a comeback win against Louisiana-Monroe (2-2), Smith could not keep his voice from rising in pitch and cadence after FAU&amp;#39;s 27-25 loss.
