Panthers' Offensive Showcase

Defensive Prowess

On defense, Florida International was equally impressive, limiting New Mexico State to just one touchdown per half while forcing two interceptions that played a crucial role in maintaining control of the game's momentum. Eddie Walls III and Keegan Davis each recorded a sack, contributing to a defensive effort that saw two quarterback hits and three tackles for loss against New Mexico State's offense.

The special teams unit also made significant contributions with Alejandro Prado successfully converting both field goal attempts from distances up to 38 yards out while ensuring all extra point kicks sailed through the uprights.
