BEST BYE: Alex McGough has quietly played his best football in his final record-breaking season

Maybe it's because the FIU running game has been an equal contributor to the Panthers offensive success this season. Maybe it's because he's only had two 300-yard passing games or maybe it's because he has an unassuming personality at the most important position on a football team.

The reasons above might lead one to conclude that FIU quarterback Alex McGough is having a pedestrian senior season. It couldn't be farther from the truth.

Besides directing the Panthers to matching the program record for wins in a season, McGough is quietly enjoying the best season ever by an FIU quarterback in the program's 16-year history.
