FIU led the NCAA in red zone offense this season scoring 39 times out of 40 trips from the opponent's 20-yard line and in.

If you ask FIU offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky why the Panthers were the best offense in the red zone in college football, he'll tell you it's because of its balance.

"A stat like that everyone is a part of the success," said Skrosky. "The first thing is start with the kicker. As a play caller with Jose [Borregales] you know you got three [points] and I'm not saying you get a little more aggressive but you feel like you got three so we might as well get seven.
