La Tech @ FIU
FIU is coming off 3 conference wins thanks to a bit of an easy start to the conference schedule and will be having homecoming this weekend so hopefully we have a decent crowd. If FIU were to win this game I think it would be our biggest win in CUSA to date. That being said I think La Tech's offense is too much to handle especially for our young secondary. I'd be surprised if we kept it close and see La Tech winning by 2 TD. Hope I'm wrong! Go Panthers!

RE: La Tech @ FIU
Impressed with the 3-0 start for FIU. back to back long road trips for Tech could spell trouble. I think Tech wins this, but anything can happen. We have looked pretty good on offense at times, but our defense is terrible. We have also had trouble with turnovers at times (mostly UMass and SC State). Special teams are weak as well. There are plenty of weaknesses for FIU to exploit. If the offense protects the ball though, it will likely be a shootout even if FIU takes advantage of the opportunities.

RE: La Tech @ FIU
Thankfully we've been in the position that we've only had one 'critical' turnover (MTSU fumble).
I attribute most to carelessness. Like the INT last game, theres not much to that. The unforced fumble was worse, but that can be cleaned. Both games were also OOC vs weaker opponents. Our guys do need to hold on to the ball, I'd hope they would in all the CUSA games.

RE: La Tech @ FIU
I just don't see how FIU will be able to slow down La Tech's offense. Last year they did a pretty good job, minus slowing down Dixon. Although Dixon is now gone, a lot of the key players on FIU's defense are gone too. The defense this year has been been much weaker than last year's. If FIU tries to get into a shootout with Tech, they will lose. I just hope FIU is able to run the football. Charlotte somehow shut down FIU's rushing attack.

RE: La Tech @ FIU
Back to back really long road trips have me nervous. FIU has gotten a few win in a row and its not like they don't have any athletes. When they have confidence they can be dangerous, which I expect they have! I think we can win the game as long as we do not turn the ball over. I think for FIU to win they need to be +2 in trunovers (certainly possible) and have some big special teams plays (definitely possible or likely).

RE: La Tech @ FIU
any road game is a tough game - is FIU better than UMass defensively? can FIU offense score 40+ points?

1) Yes. 2) I highly doubt it. I would be happy with 30. I think that's not even enough. I see La Tech scoring 40-45.

RE: La Tech @ FIU
This game worries me. FIU has a little mojo and a 3 game winning streak and this is our second consecutive long road trip. Just hoping the Dawgs go down to Miami with a business attitude and not a vacation one.

I still can't believe we lost to UMass earlier in the season. However, I think under interim coach Ron Cooper we would've won that game. That being said I don't think FIU can score 40+ unless there are special teams and defensive touchdowns.

If you don't score on special teams or defense you will most likely benefit from great field position at least twice during the game. I'm talking less that 30 yards to score.

Tech's D will make your QB looked like Tom Brady.
