There are less than four months remaining before FIU opens its 2018 football season with a Sept. 1 home game against the Indiana Hoosiers, and that’s time enough to ponder the Panthers’ passing game.
In coach Butch Davis’ perfect world, FIU doesn’t have one dominant wide receiver that catches at least 50 passes but several.
Last year, FIU’s passing game was directed toward senior Thomas Owens, who played just nine games before getting injured but still led the team in receptions (59), yards (887) and touchdowns (six).
With Owens and Julian Williams (22 catches, 307 yards) graduated, passes could be more evenly distributed this fall.
