Game Preview
The Riccardo Silva Stadium will serve as the venue for the upcoming match between the FIU Panthers (3-3) and the UTEP Miners (1-5) on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, where the former are considered favorites per most NCAAFbest bets lists.
The UTEP Miners enter this game with a record of 1-5 for the current season. In their previous match, the Miners went against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and unfortunately suffered a defeat with a final score of 24-10. Deion Hankins showcased his talent in rushing, leading the Miners’ offense with 15 carries for a total of 83 yards, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. Cade McConnell, on the other hand, only completed 4 out of 11 passes for a total of 48 yards, showing weakness in the air. The team has conceded an average of 5.2 yards per rushing attempt and a total of 191.5 rushing yards per game this season.
The Panthers enter this game with a record of 3-3 in 2023. In their previous match, the Panthers suffered a loss with a final score of 34-17 against the New Mexico State Aggies. Keyone Jenkins finished the contest with an impressive performance, accumulating 250 yards with 25 completions out of 32 attempts. His quarterback rating stood steadily at 131.3, even after throwing 2 interceptions in the match. On top of that, his average yards per attempt amounted to 7.8. The Panthers’ defense is currently conceding an average of 27.0 points per game, placing them in the 80th position nationwide.
Overall both squads are rather inconsistent on their offensive plays, with each team having trouble on certain areas of the primary. This matchup will definitely be dependent on the secondary of both squads, as suppressing their opponent’s star player should be rather easy. Nevertheless, we give a slight edge to The Panthers this time around.
