The past performances of the Panthers have been a mixed bag, with some areas showing promise while others highlight opportunities for improvement. In their previous game against the Miners, despite accumulating 363 total yards and averaging 5.7 yards per play, they fell short with only 14 points on the board compared to their opponents' 27 points. The team's rushing efforts were notable with two touchdowns but were overshadowed by four fumbles and an interception.


In an earlier matchup against New Mexico State Aggies, the Panthers demonstrated efficiency in passing completion (80 percent) but struggled on defense as they allowed 34 points. Their red zone efficiency stood at 60 percent with three successes out of five attempts; however, turnovers continued to be an issue.


Against Liberty Flames, FIU scored only six points while conceding 38. The rushing game was less effective than desired, averaging under two yards per carry and securing just one touchdown from red zone opportunities.


The upcoming game presents another challenge for FIU as they aim to build consistency and capitalize on their offensive strengths while addressing defensive vulnerabilities that have led to turnovers and high opponent scores in past games.


Fans can catch all the action from this anticipated football match-up on October 18th at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium or tune into CBS Sports Network for live coverage starting at 23:00 UTC.
