From the moment FIU walked off the turf at Riccardo Silva Stadium following their disappointing loss to Marshall in the regular season finale, all of the talk was about looking forward to playing in a bowl game to close the season out with a win.
As they have all season long, the Panthers showed a resilient nature and overcame a sluggish start to beat Toledo 35-32 in the 2018 Bahamas Bowl.
On the opening kickoff, wideout Bryce Singleton fumbled inside of the Panther 10-yard line.
The kickoff appeared as if it would bounce into the endzone, however it stopped short and Singleton was forced to field the ball.
