Turnovers plague FIU as they fall to Indiana 38-28

The excitement surrounding Riccardo Silva Stadium was palpable. The 2018 FIU Panthers were excited to make a statement that last season was no fluke.

Early on it looked as if they might have been too excited.

The question of who would start the game under center for FIU was answered 20 minutes before kickoff when Bowling Green transfer James Morgan was announced over the PA system as the starter.

However, mistakes plagued the Panther offense early on.

Maurice Alexander, making his debut at receiver, fumbled a would-be first down reception.
