After everyone within a 100-yard radius of the FIU practice fields was on cloud nine following the open of fall camp last Monday, a different type of cloud greeted the Panthers as they opened week two — classic South Florida rainstorms.
Under grey skies, Mike MacIntyre’s group took the field in full pads for the first time and whether it was a case of the Monday’s or the weather — MacIntyre called a halt to FIU’s sixth fall practice roughly 57 minutes in to remind his young group of what they’re working towards and why consistency is of the utmost importance.
