The FIU Golden Panthers (1-2) will be saying “bienvenido a Mt. Pleasant” this upcoming weekend, as the Miami-based squad will travel 1,508 miles north to take on the Central Michigan Chippewas (1-2) in both programs’ respective final non-conference matchups of their campaigns.
FIU, coming off a loss to Texas Tech, and suffering a bad loss to 1-2 Texas State two weeks ago, finds themselves in a must-win if they hope to compete in the front-loaded Conference USA. CMU, meanwhile, is looking to even their record on 2-2 before walking down the gauntlet that is the MAC West divisional race.
