It was the biggest home game in FIU football history, but it was far from the best the Panthers have played.
The Panthers, who have not had a punt blocked all season, were victimized in that fashion for a touchdown.
FIU quarterback James Morgan, who has set a school record this season with 26 touchdown passes and had just five interceptions in his first 11 games, threw a pick six and another drive-killing toss.
Jose Borregales, a kicker who will be in the NFL one day according to FIU coach Butch Davis, missed a 28-yard field-goal attempt and had a 43-yarder blocked.
