Featured Game | FIU Panthers vs. Charlotte 49ers
Why Charlotte can cover
The 49ers are one of the two undefeated teams in Conference USA East. They edged out MTSU for their first conference win of the year earlier this season. Charlotte’s passing attack could be vital to taking down a rival that’s dominated this matchup in recent years.
Charlotte’s senior signal-caller Chris Reynolds has thrown for 1,115 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions this season. Division-II transfer Grant DuBose has a lot to do with that production. He’s among the NCAA’s leaders in receptions (24) and has tallied 393 receiving yards to go along with four touchdowns. FIU has given up more than 300 passing yards in three straight games, so the 49ers could run away with a win here.
Why FIU can cover
FIU is off to a slow start to the 2021 season, but has history on its side. The Panthers have won five straight games against the 49ers. Their balanced offense makes them a threat to defend their home field in a shootout.
FIU’s Max Bortenschlager ranks 17th in the NCAA in passing yards. Tyrese Chambers and Bryce Singleton have eclipsed 400 receiving yards for the Panthers, but they can also depend on a sturdy ground game. D’Vonte Price has racked up 411 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground. He’ll face a Charlotte defense that gave up 257 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Illinois‘ Chase Brown last week. If the Panthers can establish the ground game early, they can upset Charlotte.
