The two teams kick off shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 8.
FIU Golden Panthers
The Golden Panthers went 8-5 in 2017, which was their best season Mario Cristobal was running the show back in 2011. Unfortunately, they ended up dropping their bowl game losing momentum entering the new year, which is unfortunate because there’s a strong chance they regress a bit anyway.

Against Old Dominion, Florida International needs a better showing from new quarterback James Morgan. Last week, the Bowling Green transfer completed just 11 of his 20 passes. That type of completion rate was only good for 90 yards in the entire contest.
If Morgan can put together a more efficient showing—and quite frankly do it on more than 20 attempts—the Panthers will have a strong shot at winning the road game.
If his showing is similar to Week 1—and the team doesn’t increase his number of attempts—it’d be tough to imagine any sort of flow to the offense.
Old Dominion Monarchs
The Monarchs’ Week 1 showing did not go as planned. The first half wasn’t terrible. Old Dominion went into the third quarter down just four points. And then…
The Monarchs gave up 38 points in a row at one point during the game’s latter two quarters. Quarterback Steven Williams completed just 14 of his 30 tosses, accumulating 132 yards by the time the final horn sounded.
The good news here is that Williams avoided throwing the ball to the wrong team during all of his snaps.

For most quarterbacks around the country, this would be the expectation—not necessarily a strength. But he had trouble in that department a year ago, so it’s a good sign of things to come.
