FIU Defense Forebodes Trouble For North Texas Quarterbacks

FIU has been averaging 15.5 points per game offensively while their defense has held opponents to 17.0. North Texas scored 21 points in their game against California, but allowed 58 points and 669 yards of offense. They have one cover of the spread in their last five, and one in their last eight September games. Their quarterback situation could become contested as transfer Chandler Rogers from Louisiana-Monroe is challenging Stone Earle for playing time. FIU has already recorded five sacks, which could put further pressure on the North Texas QB.
