FIU Sports staff writer Pete Pelegrin asked me five questions for a weekly feature he does with a beat writer from the opposing team.
I asked him the same five questions.
What were your preseason expectations for FIU and how do you think they’ve done so far three weeks into the season?
Pete: “My preseason expectations were and still are that FIU can get back to a bowl game and challenge for the Conference USA title. The Panthers are a young team and lost quarterback Alex McGough to the Seattle Seahawks, plus leading rusher Alex Gardner and leading receiver Thomas Owens both to graduation, as well as stalwart linebackers Anthony Wint and Treyvon Williams.
