FIU Articles:
Golden Panthers want Medlock locked in as team’s leader
Quote: Teams can survive quarterbacks with weak arms, weak shoulders and weak knees to attain the zenith of success. But a weak leader? The ship goes down with the quarterback.
And FIU doesn’t want this season’s ship sailing out of the Sun Belt for Conference USA without a conference title and a third consecutive bowl appearance. So much of the season that begins Saturday night at Duke rides on the leadership of strong-armed, strong- (and reattached-) shouldered — but young — Jake Medlock.

RE: GAMEDAY: FIU vs. Duke - 9.1.12
Quote: Jonathan Cyprien, a 6-1, 220-pound senior for FIU, is a quiet, soft-spoken kind of person. It’s his hits that make a lot of noise.
In practice, Cyprien sometimes charges up from his strong safety slot to tackle 225-pound run-oriented quarterback Jake Medlock. It’s a matchup — body-to-body, shoulder-to-shoulder and helmet-to-helmet — of power and muscle that coach Mario Cristobal enjoys watching, as long as both get off the turf unhurt.
Who gets the better of it? Cyprien offers his opinion, but it’s said with a wry smile.
“I try to take it easy on Jake,” he said with a laugh. “Of course, anyone I tackle will get up hurting.”
No lack of confidence in Cyprien, and there should not be.

After a TO, TD Duke and the game is tied. Look like we are going to see a similar game as last year.

I think FIU lost last year. It is interesting that Duke (of all schools) has FIU's number.

They did lose. 44-14 is the score. FIU looks bad.

No need to be sorry. I can speak for us in Boca when I say that we're okay with it.

Im telling you guys...dont sleep on Duke.
As for FIU, if anyone asks, they are a Conference USA team now...CUSA fans are already using a similar excuse with Houston and Memphis right now.

Good. So then we can say the SBC beat Houston (Big East) tonight when Texas State wins.

How can they win the Belt when they didn't last year, and they are without their QB and "Heisman hopeful" TY Hilton? And they have a tougher schedule than last year, by far.

FIU will compete nicely in the watered down CUSA...Sunbelt, not so much. Of course, the current CUSA is pretty freakin shabby, if you asked me... Good riddance boys enjoy your less than lateral move..
