With two-thirds of the season remaining, the 2019 FIU football team’s outlook could be summed up succinctly with the following quote by author Garth Stein, “The true test of a champion is not whether he can triumph, but whether he can overcome obstacles - preferably of his own making - in order to triumph.”
While the Panthers’ championship dreams aren’t yet extinct, they are most certainty on life support.
However, there’s a motivator that could possibly be more pertinent than a C-USA East crown for Butch Davis’ team - “The old FIU.”
What exactly that phrase means is best told by the players themselves.
