Serious Predictions For Fiu

Recommended Posts

call me crazy (which has already been well-established) but I think we win big. This is based, in part, off a bong rip (jokes?) and the thought that our players have been so embarassed this past week they will come out ready to hit any and everything to salvage some pride. I like our chances at home. Fouts is one the hardest places to watch a game in all of Div 1 football..

FIU 56

NT 41

Not alot of defense played by either side. We give up over 50 again.

Let's say 16,184 for the attendance.

You think we give up over 50 to Florida International? Aren't they pretty much a running team? It will be a Loooooooooooooooooooooong evening at Fouts if we can't hold them under 50. I don't drink, but I might have to if they score more than 50.

Didn't bother Navy last year

FIU so far this season has put up 10 at Kansas, 0 against Iowa, 9 against South Florida, and then 35 for their lone win over Toledo.

They held a damn good USF team to 17 and came within a score of the upset in the opener of their new stadium, so they CAN play a little defense... in their first two games Kansas and Iowa both hung 40+ on them, but since then they held USF to 17 and Toledo to 16 -- so against closer competition, they've been competitive. In fact, Toledo had put up 54 and 41 points respectively in the previous two weeks against ranked Fresno St. and E. Michigan.

BUT -- even though they finally broke out and put up 35 on Toledo, they only threw the ball 13 times for 98 yards, while running it 45 times for 141. Not the best output, but they'll control the clock.

Paul McCall, their starting QB, has 1 TD to 5 INTs. Reams and Ned, their two headed backfield, both have over 40 carries yet neither one averages more than 3.3 per carry.

They were +4 in the turnover column with Toledo, and that's how they won... they were down 13-0 in the first quarter, and then the Rockets started giving the ball away. They were -1 against Kansas and Iowa, and even against USF -- so, it's safe to say they play conservatively and don't make many mistakes.

Basically, if there is an offense we have a prayer in slowing down all year, this is the one. That's not to say we'll win -- FIU plays a little defense and generally doesn't make many mistakes -- but they are HORRIBLY vanilla, low-output, and devoid of big plays on offense. This will really show us how bad it is or isn't for DeLoach's boys.
