FIU hosts the Pitt Panthers today at noon. The game can be watched on Fox Sports 1. Pitt is a 25.5 point favorite. I hope FIU can keep it close for the first half. Last week we found more success on offense by starting a true freshman QB (Alex McGough) and true freshman RB (Alex Gardner).
If you are planning on tuning into the game, I'll give you a short description of FIU's strengths and weaknesses so far.
Strengths:
Kickoff and punt returns, pass rush, and the secondary when they aren't falling asleep for a play or two.
Weaknesses:
Run blocking, run blocking, run blocking, 3rd down conversions, goal-line offense, dropped passes, and no successful vertical passes. I would throw play calling in here, but it's hard to tell with a freshman QB playing.
I hope FIU can represent C-USA well this week. Good luck to all C-USA schools today in your games!
