FIU’s convincing 41-17 domination of visiting Western Kentucky on Friday night has clinched a winning record and put the Panthers within one win of tying the program record for victories.
The Panthers (7-4, 5-3 Conference USA) can tie that record a week from Saturday when they conclude their regular season with a non-conference game against visiting Massachusetts (4-7).
A bowl game for the Panthers is not assured, but it is looking more and more likely, especially after this win against Western Kentucky (6-6, 4-4), the 2016 Conference USA champions.
“It’s exciting,” FIU senior linebacker Anthony Wint said.
