For the second consecutive year, FIU will play its bowl game without its starting quarterback.
FIU Coach Butch Davis said Thursday a sore throwing arm will keep starting quarterback James Morgan out of Friday’s Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl against Toledo.
“In our last game against Marshall, he suffered a small injury in the tricep,” Davis said at the last pregame news conference. “If the bowl game was another week or 10 days -- he’s very close -- you could’ve said it was game time decision.”
Senior Christian Alexander, who threw for 218 yards, one interception and no touchdowns on 19 of 29 passing, will play instead.
