FIU Football Notebook: Charlotte Cancelation Leaves FIU with a Home Finale

Head coach Butch Davis has repeatedly emphasized that the only way his young team can grow is through consistent practices and playing games weekly — a feat that’s been virtually impossible in a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the third time in 2020, FIU has a game canceled. This time, the move comes from Conference USA.

“Western Kentucky versus Charlotte, which had previously been scheduled for a Dec. 1, 10:30 AM kickoff, has been rescheduled for Dec. 6 at Noon at Jerry Richardson Stadium. As a result, FIU’s Dec. 5 game in Charlotte was canceled,” as stated in a league press release.
