The FIU Panthers and Texas State Bobcats face off on Saturday in a Week 2 college football showdown at TSU Bobcat Stadium.
It might be a down year for FIU Panthers and even though the first year was a win, they looked really bad against Bryant. At halftime, FIU was down 16-6 but in the second half, they made a comeback and scored 24 points in the 4th quarter. It took overtime, but the Panthers were able to secure the 38-37. Quarterback Grayson James completed 16 of his 31 passes for 204 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver Tyrese Chambers caught eight passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns. The defense in the first game looked horrible, and that will need to be cleaned up here.
On the other side of this matchup is the Texas State Bobcats and they opened up their season with a 38-14 record against Nevada. At the end of the first quarter, Texas State was down 14-0 and they never came back as they were blown out. Under center for Texas State is Layne Hatcher and he completed 33 of his 51 passes for 289 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. On offense, Texas State struggled to run the ball and they need a more balanced attack here. Texas State’s top wide receiver was Ashtyn Hawkins and he caught 10 passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns.
