Despite having multiple games canceled and postponed due to a litany of injured players and COVID-19, Butch Davis was itching to take on a then top-25 Marshall team. However, Conference USA made the call to change the Thundering Herd’s schedule, which ended the Panthers’ 2020 season.
“I absolutely wanted to play Marshall and we truly thought that there would be an opportunity to finish the season,” said Davis.
The rescheduling of games left FIU with an 0-5 record — its first winless season since 2006. For the first time, Davis gave an in-depth insight into the challenges that the program faced during the season in his season-recap press conference.
