Eastern division action kicks-off the action for Week 9 with a Friday night tilt featuring the Bulldogs and the Panthers. With just two wins under their belt, LA Tech stands the most to gain and FIU will be looking for a win streak for the first time since October 19, 2019.

Keeping in line with the last two weeks, Saturday will once again see four games. Western Kentucky can lock up a bowl berth with a win over North Texas in the marquee matchup for the day. FAU will try and set UAB down for the fourth time in Boca Raton, and will wear black uniforms while doing so.

Below is the full slate for the week.

FIU taking on LA Tech over on CBSSN.

Should be a good game…

Panthers down 7-0 midway through the first quarter.

FIU likely having a better record than us despite how much more talented we are compared with them is incredibly embarrassing

The Panthers fall behind but claw ahead for a 21-17 lead at the break courtesy of special teams work.

A pooch kick recovery sets up the go ahead score, and they block a Bulldog FG just before the first half clock expires.

Have watched a few of their games now, and they are much improved. Would expect the Owls' win percentage to take a hit should this contest eventually go their way with the final horn.

Slow 3rd so far, but the Panthers add a FG to extend the lead to 24-17.

They are +6.5 dogs.

Panthers trail 27-24 with 2:01 to go.

Ball game right here.

FIU ties it up 27-27 with :16 to go.

OT for them, bed time for me.

See you tomorrow…

Do we really have more talent?
QB struggles with his passing game, OL/DL consistently outsized and kicking/punting issues.
Coaches can coach and recruit, but they can’t catch, run or kick the ball.
We need to realize that all of the other teams have talent also that can beat us and until we see our recruiting improve and start winning, we need to stop talking about all of our talent.

Two programs trending in opposite directions. We really might not win another game this year

FIU is 100% gonna beat us
