The FIU Panthers will take on the Texas State Bobcats at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium. The Panthers will be seeking to avenge the 23-17 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played Sept. 11 of last year.
It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but FIU ultimately got the result they were hoping for last Thursday with a 38-37 victory over the Bryant Bulldogs.
Meanwhile, Texas State has to be aching after a bruising 38-14 loss to the Nevada Wolf Pack last week. Texas State was down 38-7 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
FIU's win lifted them to 1-0 while Texas State's defeat dropped them down to 0-1. We'll find out if FIU can add another positive mark to their record or if Texas State can shake off the loss and take the spring out of FIU's step.
