Maryland vs. FIU Game Preview

For those of you who weren't a fan of the nearly four-hour game last week due in part to the 8,766 commercials that ESPN ran, Friday's game between FIU and Maryland might be more up your alley because you might see a run-heavy type of game.

Running the ball is what Maryland does best offensively and what FIU has to be more consistent doing in order to have its offense flowing.

The Panthers ran for just 63 yards on 21 carries last week in the season opener against Indiana. The lack of a run attack allowed the Hoosiers to get after quarterback Alex McGough and turn the Panthers into a one-dimensional offense.
