For a program in the midst of the best season in its 16-year history through seven games you wouldn't think FIU needs much motivation from week to week. After all the Panthers have never had a 5-2 record in their existence like they currently enjoy.
Still, FIU coach Butch Davis thought why not try something different when it comes to recognizing outstanding performances by the Panthers both on and off the field during this season.
So Davis introduced three different ways to honor his players: Panther paws stickers for the helmets, an FIU Football coin and a Special Teams Hammer Award.
