Alabama defeated FIU 41-14 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., in the Crimson Tide's second game of the season. Since then, No. 2 Alabama (10-0) and Florida have played Arkansas, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana State and Mississippi State. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1345015.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1345015.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:22 EST North Carolina Central got introduced to FIU's Marvin Roberts, and the Eagles probably wish they never had met him.<p/> Roberts finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and even had three assists as Florida International defeated N.C. Central 83-73 at FIU's U.S. Century Bank Arena. Roberts' shooting, except at the free-throw line, was nearly unerring as he hit 8 of 11 from the field. At the line, he was only 4 of 9. Nevertheless, FIU coach Isiah Thomas said of Roberts, ``Marvin's the real deal as a basketball player.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1343266.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1343266.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Starting linebacker Winston Fraser will miss his sixth consecutive game Saturday when the Golden Panthers travel to Gainesville to take on No. 1 Florida. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1340819.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1340819.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00 EST It could be a two-quarterback and two-running back system for the final two games of the season for FIU.<p/> Golden Panthers coach Mario Cristobal said Wednesday that it's likely starting quarterback Paul McCall and backup Wayne Younger will share the duties against Florida on Saturday and for the season finale against Florida Atlantic on Dec. 5. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1339002.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1339002.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Because of numerous injuries, FIU has had to press plenty of freshmen into action this season.<p/> The Golden Panthers have played 16 true freshmen this season, which trails only Tulane (17) in the Football Bowl Subdivision. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1338878.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1338878.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:00 EST like a thunderous dunk off a rebound by FIU forward Marvin Roberts -- that made one of the largest FIU basketball crowds stand up and cheer.<p/> And then there were the mishaps like when a Golden Panthers player passed the ball and no teammate was in the vicinity. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1337021.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1337021.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:00 EST FIU has had success running its Wildcat package since unveiling it two weeks ago at Middle Tennessee.<p/> Running back Kendall Berry has taken the direct snaps in the scheme and scored two touchdowns in the 35-28 victory over North Texas on Saturday. But FIU coach Mario Cristobal thinks unheralded fullback John Ellis is a big reason for the success of the scheme. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1335482.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1335482.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:00 EST Turnovers set up FIU against North Texas, but defensive adjustments and a creative running game pushed the Golden Panthers to victory. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1335186.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1335186.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:23 EST Three games into his college coaching career, Isiah Thomas was already asking for mercy. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1334346.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1334346.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00 EST FIU blocked a punt and forced a fumble during a final-quarter frenzy to set up two touchdown drives and lead the Golden Panthers to their third victory of the season. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1334166.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1334166.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00 EST FIU might eventually get through one week this season without a key injury.<p/> Starting running back Darriet Perry did not play Saturday against North Texas and has been ruled out for the season with a broken right wrist sustained last week at Middle Tennessee. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1332542.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges/fiu/story/1332542.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:00 EST FIU middle linebacker Toronto Smith, who missed last week's game at Middle Tennessee with a knee injury, was home watching his teammates take on the Blue Raiders last Saturday.
