MIAMI, Fla. – First place in the Conference USA East Division will be on the line Saturday in Miami when Middle Tennessee travels to FIU for a homecoming showdown.
The home Panthers (3-2, 1-0) haven't beaten the Blue Raiders (3-2, 2-0) since 2014. That doesn't mean the road team can take things lightly, though, because second-year head coach Butch Davis' squad hasn't held a division lead this late in a season since moving to C-USA in 2013. They'll surely come out firing.
"As we evaluate FIU, I think it's probably the best FIU team we've played in a long time," MT head coach Rick Stockstill said at Monday's weekly press conference.
