Really do not understand how FIU and FAU cannot recruit better given their location. Can someone from either school explain this to me.

We havent won a game since 2011 and we probably had at least twice the attendance of this game. And our student body is a fraction of both of these schools. Urphhhhhhh

While covering a punt five FIU Panthers are standing by the goal line waiting for the punt to come down. None of them bothered looking up, so the ball hit the ground at the 2 yard line and bounced over their heads into the end zone. So instead of pinning UCF at the 2 yard line; UCF starts at the 20.

Thought I heard the CBS Sports (Cross I Think?) guy say Coach Turner said FIU wanted to grow over the next four years and move on?UCF just scored again.

This game is getting really ugly.

Looks like those tailgaters knew something that we didn't.

The score is now 24-0, UCF. Still in 2nd quarter.

Has FIU made a 1st down in the entire game???

TD FUC

FIU 0
FUC 24

FIU is horrid, I don't think Id be going to games there either.

Why not keep tailgating? They aren't missing much.

You make a very good point. I don't know how much more of this I can even stand to watch this is just a mugging.

New coach, completely different system than they ran last few seasons. Return 1 starter. Lost top 2 receivers via academic ineligibility. Lost best CB via academic ineligibility, Top 2 RB dismissed from program.

Do I need to go on?

I'm changing it back to the Smith/Lake Taylor game on ESPNU.

Never mind, its 21-2 there. Shark Tank it is.

FIU got a Safety? Good for them! That's the only type of score my Niners didn't get in their first game.

The FIU line collapsing almost immediately.

You guys are just realizing no one goes to FIU games? Where has everyone been? When we played down their last season we had more fans than FIU did...400 to about 250 FIU fans...Mainly due to half of our team is from FLorida...

The law of CUSA says that FIU beats somebody who needs a win to clinch their division or qualify for a bowl game.

Not FIU, a high school game. FIU does have a safety, he's a model. I think the CBS guys sort of think he's attractive.

I'm not gonna blast anyone for attendance. Just wait till we get later in the season. There are gonna be crowds by some schools that make this one look large.

The last FIU game i watched, TY Hilton ran all over Louisville. The game was at Louisville though.

Just wait until you see basketball games at the spacious FIU high school gym...Literally may not be 100 people that attend basketball games..Yes everyone has attend. problems, but FIU's problems are unheard of for people attending any kind of sporting event down there...But like their fans will tell you, they are a new program...
