College Football Preview: No. 117.... FIU!
Jun 06, 2007 | 9:21AM | report this

I have to make up some ground for this so here is my second preview of the day... Florida International. Yes, that Florida International.

Florida International Last Year: (0-8) 0-12 Last in Sun Belt

Offense: While most of the people remember FIU for their infamous brawl against Miami, they should not take a look at the offense. Last year they scored less then 10 points per game and now they have an inexperienced QB (he threw only 18 passes last year.) If, and that's a big if, they want to get some points they'll have to run, run, run, the ball. They have their 2 returning rushers back, Juniors Julian Reams and A'mod Ned who rushed for a combined 770 yards. They have a decent line and if they run it up the middle they should improve their offense by at least 3 points.

Defense: As bad as their record shows, they weren't all that bad on defense. They only lost their first 4 games by 11 points and it was mainly because of their defense. They have a very good CB with Senior Lionell Singleton returning. Last year the secondary was their strength, as it will be this year. The LB's take a hit, losing all 3 starters, so obviously that is their weakness. The line will be OK, not the worst but not the best.

Schedule-
Sept. 1 at Penn State
Sept. 8 Maryland
Sept. 15 at Miami
Sept. 22 at Kansas
Sept. 29 at Middle Tenn
Oct. 6 Troy
Oct. 20 at UL Monroe
Oct. 27 at Arkansas
Nov. 3 at Arkansas State
Nov. 17 UL Lafayette
Nov. 24 Florida Atlantic
Dec. 1 North Texas

Prediction: Since they are in the Sun Belt they could possibly get up to 5 wins including their last 4. 4-8 at worst.

3 down, 116 to go.

Past Teams-
Duke
Temple

ABOUT ME


detroitsports
Oh let's see here... I was an all around athlete in my younger days. I have been to many Tigers and Lions games, will try to make to at least 1 Red Wing game in my lifetime. I like smelling my own farts for enjoyment and like listening to R&B and rap. I think Rasheed is retarted and McGrady is the best in the league when he's healty. I think the Tigers will make the World Series this year and every year in the future. One more thing... testicles... that is all.
