FIU, man, they are fired up to play in this college bowl game tonight. They play against UTSA. You're very familiar obviously with them and the amount of points that they could put up. Total is 60.5. Uh, does FIU stand a chance in this game? Certainly, once every 4 years, it feels like we get an FIU or an FAU in the bowl game, in the bowl season. This year, it's FIU. Well, I'll tell you, being down here in Texas, Craig, uh, UTSA's head coach Jeff Trailer, uh, he said when this bowl game was announced or maybe a few days after, uh, that the Roadrunners would be quote, a shell of themselves, end quote, when this bowl game rolled around, meaning that they would. Be without a lot of their, uh, top players. And I think he said they, they went to Dallas, traveled to Dallas about 3 or 4 days ago, and he said 16 players didn't make the trip. So close to 20 players for UTSA either injured, opting out in the transfer portal or whatever the case might be, but most of those players are on defense. So, uh, you know, I, I think it's going to be, uh, uh, a UTSA team that's gonna be particularly thin. In the secondary. The offense though led by junior quarterback Owen McCown is pretty much intact, according to a depth chart that I saw this past Sunday. Uh, like UTSA, uh, FIU is gonna be short-handed in the secondary. They start 5 players in the back of their defense. Uh, 3, uh, 3/5 of those guys or 60% are not going to be, uh, playing due to, uh, opt-outs, injury, or transfer portal. One of those guys is their cornerback, their top cornerback, Mr. Clark, a first-team conference USA selection this year. He will not play. Uh, both of their quarterbacks for, for FIU were banged up later in the year, but it looks like at least one or both will be able to go. I'm expecting Keyon Jenkins will start for the Panthers, and you look at this Texas San Antonio team, they're gonna be thin on defense, but they are prolific on. Offense, they have been an overm machine the last year and a half, 15-3 and 2 to the over their last 20 games. Uh, FIU gave up 51 points earlier this year to UConn, 45 to Kennesaw State. Uh, those offenses aren't as revved up as UTSA and McCowan, so I think there's gonna be a lot of points on both sides, gonna be good weather tonight in Dallas. Um, the total was 59.5 earlier this morning, up to 61.5 at some stores now. So it's starting to get some play, but I like this game to go over the total tonight in the bowl game there in Dallas.
