Texas State’s game last season against FIU went down to the wire.
A strip-sack from outside linebacker Issiah Nixon and a walk-off 11-yard touchdown in overtime by running back Brock Sturges lifted the Bobcats over the Panthers in the teams’ first-ever meeting on Sept. 11, 2001, in Miami. Now, FIU travels to San Marcos to complete the home-and-home series.
Butch Davis stepped down as head coach at the end of the 2022 season, criticizing the school’s administration for “sabotaging the program.” The Panthers brought in Mike MacIntyre as his replacement, who was most recently the defensive coordinator at Memphis but has held head coaching gigs at Colorado and San Jose State.
