Not even Bryce Singleton’s spectacular one-handed touchdown grab, James Morgan’s record-tying performance or Anthony Jones’ emotional return to action could save the FIU Panthers on Saturday night.
FIU’s four-game win streak is over, and rival Florida Atlantic did the damage.
The Panthers lost 49-14 to the FAU Owls, who knocked FIU out of first place in Conference USA’s East Division. FIU (6-3, 4-1) trails Middle Tennessee (6-3, 5-1) by a half-game.
However, FIU beat Middle Tennessee this season and would own the head-to-head edge if the division title would come down to that tiebreaker.
