Butch will use all his RB's and try to control the clock and attack our weakness which is defending the run...4 of their RB's are averaging close to 5.5 per carry and Christian Alexander can run from the QB spot. They have been running a balanced attack with both QB's rated near 150 but Butch needs to control the clock and will use all his RB's trying to keep his defense fresh. Sure we are heavy favorites, but I pray our players are not taking this lightly. I am sure our coaches are telling them that FIU is not a patsy but how often has our teams been over confident no matter how many times the coaches tell them to practice hard and be prepared. If Jaquan Johnson is out Butch may stay balanced as our pass defense is less then stellar without him. I am not being a doom and gloom person but I would not bet the spread since this is the biggest game of the year for FIU and a fired up mediocre team can be dangerous to a team with a lackadaisical attitude. I want to see total domination, not just for the win but for recruiting.

Yeah, our little game with Pitt still ticks me off.
 
The gambling horde should have laid the... - 26 1/2. Spread is now... - 27 1/2 and could move a point upwards by Saturday.

We are ranked 22 run defense. take out the 50 yard run LSU had and .............................. Let him run with his 2/3 star running backs. Stupid.

Oh lord, lmao at comparing fiu to Pitt, seriously.
This is a team that gave up 20 to Old Dominion and had to rally from 17 down to win.
