FIU Football Game Notebook: A Signature Win for Butch Davis and the Panthers

When I asked Butch Davis following Wednesday’s practice what was needed to upset Miami, he responded by emphasizing playing fundamental football and not having timely miscues.

Here are the odds and ends from the stadium on Saturday.
