It was a rough weekend for Conference USA football teams.
Western Kentucky lost to fourth-ranked Wisconsin by 31 points, Florida Atlantic lost to No. 7 Oklahoma by 49 and Middle Tennessee lost by 28 points to Vanderbilt.
FIU’s season opener at home on Saturday night was also against a school from a “Power Five” conference. Granted, the Indiana Hoosiers are a basketball school and not a football power.
Still, FIU played a respectable game, losing 38-28.
