FIU Beat Louisville Last Night

chrisfisher · September 10, 2011

Sorry if this was posted but I didn't see it anywhere. Looks like FIU is for real this season. Beat Louisville last night 24-17. Although it sounded like FIU lead most of the game, the review also made it sound like Louisville kept them contained but for a few big plays by T.Y. Hilton... whatever, a win is a win.. and this is a quality win for the Sunbelt.

Here is a link to a review: http://www.courier-journal.com/article/2011309090067

Now its our turn to beat a Conference USA foe Houston today!!!!!!!!!

Go Mean Green!!

FIU continued to look impressive. Their defensive ends are monsters. I hope that the Mean Green can play with some great intensity today and make it a great game. I have a feeling they will, especially with the great crowd we are going to have. Can't wait!! Go Green

Sure made me feel better to see TY dominate them early.

If FIU can keep this up.. talk about a rags to riches story... I remember a few years ago, they were like 30 consecutive loses or something like that... last season they won the conference and go to a bowl game (and win it), and now beat a BCS team... just goes to show what the right coach can do for a team.

I guess someone -1 me b/c I started a thread that had already been going on... sorry guys... didn't realize it when I posted...

FIU defense had a pick 6 and did a nice job containing the run. Speed is a nice-to-have, huh?

Louisville doesn't have a great run team but averaged about 2 yards per carry last night on 41 carries.

Did pass for 363 though, but was down the whole game and passed 45 times.

FIU and esp it's offense is very strong out of the gate then the D carries the game the rest of the way. They give you EVERYTHING they have in the first quarter and then by the time you make adjustments they have already scored heaps on you.
