The FIU Panthers are still in control of Conference USA’s East Division.
James Morgan, in his first year at FIU, broke the Panthers’ single-season record for touchdown passes, leading his team to a 45-7 win against host Texas-San Antonio on Saturday night.
FIU is 7-3 overall and 5-1 in league play. Middle Tennessee, which defeated Texas-El Paso 48-32 on Saturday, is 6-1 in league play. However, FIU owns the tiebreaker, if needed, because it beat Middle Tennessee earlier this season.
Morgan has 24 TD passes with two regular-season games and a bowl game yet to go this season.
