FIU vs Texas State Game Preview

Why FIU Will Win

Was that the spark the program needed?

It took an overtime to get by Bryant in a 38-37 thriller, but in the first game under new head coach Mike MacIntyre the offense found a passing game with Grayson James hitting four touchdown throws and the two point conversion for the win.
