What to Know

The FIU Panthers have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will stay at home another week and welcome the Jacksonville State Gamecocks at 7 p.m. ET Oct. 23 at Riccardo Silva Stadium. FIU is the favorite here -- although they were the favorites in their last game, too, so the odds might count for a little less.

It was close but no cigar for the Panthers as they fell 31-28 to the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders two weeks ago. Despite the defeat, FIU got a solid performance out of RB Shaun Peterson Jr., who rushed for two TDs and 117 yards on 15 carries. Peterson Jr. put himself on the highlight reel with a 63-yard TD scramble in the second quarter.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville State beat the North Alabama Lions 24-17 last week.

Jacksonville State's victory lifted them to 0-1 while FIU's loss dropped them down to 0-2. We'll find out if Jacksonville State can add another positive mark to their record or if FIU can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of Jacksonville State's step.
