FIU Football: 2021 Spring Preview
Following a disjointed offseason marked by various changes in the routine of getting a team ready for an upcoming year, the 2020 FIU Panthers entered the season with hopes of putting a disappointing 2019 season behind them. In more ways than one — Butch Davis’ club never got off the ground.
“We’re heading down the runway for takeoff and then all of a sudden you hear all of these alarms and the plane comes to a screeching halt,” said Davis. “The pilot said another plane cut in front of us, so we sit on the runway for 45 minutes. Once we’re in the air and circling around to land, the pilot comes on and says I can’t see the runway.”
