With fall football practices opening on Friday for the FIU Panthers, here are five things to look for during training camp and beyond:
1: There’s competition at quarterback:
Both candidates — 6-4, 215-pound James Morgan and 6-3, 225 Christian Alexander — have ideal size for the position. Both are in their fourth year in college, but Morgan started seven games as a redshirt freshman at Bowling Green before losing his job.
Alexander has the advantage of knowing his teammates for much longer, and he has shown leadership ability. Alexander is also in his second year in coach Butch Davis’ system while Morgan is brand new.
