Butch Davis has been steadfast in his belief that the lack of a “normal” offseason severely hampered his football team’s chances for success in 2020. Following Friday night’s spring game, Davis was appreciative that the Panthers were able to complete an entire spring session.
“I told the players after the game that there’s nothing better than having this opportunity to go out there and play,” said Davis. “We needed it last year and we desperately needed it this year and with the exception of one practice this spring, I felt that all of them were positive.”
FIU’s offseason has been marked by the arrival of six new coaches, something that Davis notes will take time for the players to get adjusted to - and vice versa.
