Be careful what you wish for. The Florida International University Panthers wanted to prove they were more than capable of taking on the big, bad Miami Hurricanes. On Saturday afternoon, a former Hurricanes’ coach turned Panthers’ HC led his team against a UM squad that looked to knock down their Conference USA cousins a couple pegs.
In the process of securing the title of being the best team in the 305 area code, the Hurricanes offense found their stride on the way to 31-17 victory over the Panthers. There were errors on the afternoon, yet the promise illustrated today will not be quashed on a day where Miami found its groove.
