FIU vs WKU Game Preview
Why FIU Will Win
Can the Panthers start to get the offense moving consistently?
They’ve only played two games and had two weeks off since sputtering a 41-12 loss to Texas State. The running game isn’t going to do much, but can the passing attack push the Hilltopper secondary?
