The FIU football team’s 2019 season-opener at Tulane is just a bit more than four months away, and that reality became more evident with the conclusion of spring drills on Friday night.

No official stats or score were kept for Friday’s spring-ending scrimmage, but there were some highlights, including Maurice Alexander turning a short red-zone toss into a touchdown and defensive tackle Tayland Humphrey converting a tipped pass into an interception and a score.
