FIU Sweeps Pool Play

Article By: SnealShiesty

After a rocky start to the season going 0-2, FIU flips a switch in Beefy Cup pool play. FIU landed in a grouping that had an in-state rival, a seasoned conference foe and a B1G opponent that was looking like the favorite to take the pool. Coach Shiesty and the FIU Panthers walked into cup play with a chip on their shoulder after getting smacked around on their home field in weeks 1 & 2. Coach Shiesty said after the 0-2 start to the season that he challenged every man in his locker room and especially put a little more heat on his defense. Well, his defense answered the call in their next 3 games giving up only 37 points combined and forcing 15 turnovers. FIU's workhorse running backs ran wild racking up 812 rushing yards in the 3 game sweep. This team certainly seems like they're catching stride and we're excited to see a Conference USA squad looking to make a run for the Beefy NDL Cup.
