It’s been 1,504 days since the Shula Bowl trophy has called Riccardo Silva Stadium home — and the Panthers will have to wait another season to avenge the 38-19 loss — their fourth consecutive to rival Florida Atlantic. FIU (0-4, 0-2 C-USA) fell to FAU (4-1, 4-1 C-USA) (insert final score) as the Panthers’ losing streak extends to six consecutive games following last year’s upset of Miami.
Willie Taggart picks up where former FAU head coach Lane Kiffin left off, keeping the Don Shula Trophy safe inside the Schmidt Family Complex for another season. Redshirt freshman quarterback Javion Posey earned game MVP honors for the Owls while FIU running back D’Vonte Price was given the nod for the Panthers.
