Trojans shouldn’t be overlooked by FIU; Conference unpredictable
Posted on 12 Nov 2010 by Jay Ramos.
Riding the wave of a double overtime victory over ULM last week, FIU should fell primed to make a Sun Belt Conference run, starting with Troy this weekend. But the thing is, the SBC has been weird this season. Troy, the perennial power, had a slip up of their own when they lost to ULM by two touchdowns a few weeks back. We don't need to bring up FIU's debacle against rival FAU. Troy actually...

Golden Panthers still alive in conference race
Posted on 7 Nov 2010 by Jay Ramos.
In a tied game late in the fourth quarter of FIU's double overtime victory over ULM on Nov. 7, Wesley Carroll tossed an intercetion in ULM's red zone that was broght back by ULM defensive end Ken Dorsey down into Golden Panther territory. Unlike last week against Florida Atlantic, FIU made up for the mistake by coming back in the overtimes with T.Y Hilton and Darriet Perry scores, and getting a...

week 8 preview: FAU at WKU
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by Mark Gibson.
FAU (2-5, 1-3) travels to Bowling Green, Kentucky for more conference play as they take on Western Kentucky University (1-7, 1-3) on Saturday, Nov. 6th. After last weeks big win over FIU, the Owls will be on a winning high. Hopefully it will be enough to spark a second consecutive win to turn this teams moral around. WKU is in last place in the Sun Belt conference. Granted, FAU is just right ab...

Team suffers undeniable setback
Posted on 31 Oct 2010 by Jay Ramos.
The Golden Panthers had everything set up to start conference play 4-0 with putrid teams in front of them before going to Troy and playing Arkansas State and Middle Tennessee at home down the stretch. Before next weekend's homecoming match vs. ULM, FIU just needed to beat a 1-5 FAU team across the street at Lockhart stadium. Let me establish how bad FAU really is. The Owls recently lost to a de...

Two in a row?, Dudley progresses, Harden to play
Posted on 14 Oct 2010 by Jay Ramos.
The Golden Panthers have a pretty good opportunity here. Coming off their first win of the season against WKU last weekend, the team will look for a second consecutive win. Although that has only happened once since the Cristobal era began in 2007, a game against UNT may be the perfect formula to make it happen. UNT is not good, and have lost 11 starters due to injury, and are down to fourth st...

Team shows why close losses aren’t indicative of team quality
Posted on 11 Oct 2010 by Jay Ramos.
FIU almost beat Rutgers. They almost beat Texas A&M. And they also kept it close against Mayland and Oittsburgh as well. And then, they only beat Western Kentucky by single digits. There are whispers from fans, sometimes shouts, about how FIU “should”, “could” and “would” be in certain positions and have a diferent record. But the bottom line is they stru...

Pittsburgh Shouldn’t Scare Irish
Posted on 9 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
If the Boston College game last week was a cake – walk and the Stanford game was the ultimate test, think of Saturday against Pittsburgh as that funky middle ground in between the two. Problem is, it’s really hard to gage which game it’s closer to. As mused earlier in the week in this space, “How good is Pitt?” has become one of the most thought – provoking que...

DMI: Depth a major issue
Posted on 3 Oct 2010 by Jay Ramos.
For the fourth consecutive week, FIU played an out of conference team well enough to be in the game in the fourth quarter, whether it be with a lead or a short disadvanatage. And for the fourth consecutive week, the team could not finish out its opponent and get a win. For the third consecutive week, the team allowed big play's down the stretch that zapped the Golden Panthers of all it's moment...

With the Panthers on the horizon, things will get better soon
Posted on 30 Sep 2010 by Jay Ramos.
Sure, FIU is 0-3 on the season and technically have been in every game they have played in so far. But there is room, since they have all been tough out of conference road games, for fans to be pleased with the improvement this team has shown compared to it's putrid 2009 year. The team has shown a more consistent, improved defense. Let's not throw out the big plays that have killed the Golden P...

Banged-up Terps Can’t Look Pass Tough FIU Team
Posted on 23 Sep 2010 by Scott Lowe.
If you took a poll of random college football fans across the country and asked them who will win this weekend’s Maryland-Florida International game, the vast majority would automatically pick the Terps. For Maryland supporters, this is one of those games that you see on the schedule and think that maybe that’s one of the weeks you’ll give your tickets to friends. However, if past history...
