Really not trying to be difficult in asking this, but how in the world does FIU even keep their football program going? Watching the game right now and the band makes up half the spectators in the crowd. And that doesn't seem atypical either. How is the program keeping from drowning?

For FIU? Pretty much...

No Joke, in the crappy CAA, every environment is far better than that. Even Maine has a couple thousand late in November.


Never watched an FIU game and couldn’t believe the crowd. Also, the announcers suck.

It is no longer with you...passed peacefully in its sleep.

I think the money is there. Remember, this school has a top 5 enrollment NATIONALLY. It is not a New Mexico School for Blind and Lame (that would be NMSU)

clt says they are small,but very fast

FIU is just not stopping anyone. They do have at least a half-way competent offense with decent weapons.

Everett Withers. Pure trash, and man the stories from his time in Harrisonburg. He clearly has dirt on Butch and others.

Congrats club lit

clt says CLUB LIT!!!!!

I've never seen a stat line like that... Charlotte 38-27 with 5 minutes to go.

If FAU can take care of business tomorrow...huge game coming up CLT v FAU.

Great win for CLT, on a positive note for FIU, I counted 65k people in the stands.

You missed a few thousand that were at the concessions.

We will man up and take all the hits y'all through our way and pray that Pete is no longer an employee of the university by year end.

Zero FBS wins since the 2019 UCG win will do that. Throw in a AD that was suppose to leave in 2018 , folk start to lose faith in the administration.

It didn't feel like a 12 to 18 point game but apparently it was. FIU's Bortenschlager has one hell of an arm. Honestly if he got CUSA Offensive Player of the Week over Reynolds (both had 4 TDs) I'd be hard pressed to be angry about it. He nearly had 500 yards in the air, of course Chambers counted for two of his TDs and 201 of those yards.

I don't understand the lack of fans though. You guys need to start giving away free beer or something. 55k students and maybe 500 were there. That just hurts to see on the screen. That team deserves better support.

As for us, damn I do not know how we won this one. Our pass D in this game was replacing our usually bad run D? Can't have both do medium or better at the same time?

So your mediocre defensive showing is on you? clt should ask for non-audible defensive play calls

3 times the catches. This dude's average yards per catch for the season is around 30 yards. That's the point.

Randy Moss rookie season against Dallas on Thanksgiving, 3 rec, 163 yards, 3TDs. He would have had more yards but the end zone kept stopping him. He also had 5TDs on 6 receptions against Ball State one year.

With that said, any stat line where somebody has to bring up Moss as a comparison is a heck of a stat line.
