The key factors that where needed to make a victory possible have a big check mark next to each one, as they where handled without a hitch.
The first key to the game was to have a strong start and not allow the Golden Kitties, find any momentum - Check.
The second key to the game was to protect the pigskin - Check.
The third and final key to the game was the ability to establish the running game - Check.
Pierre did not get his fourth 100 plus yards rushing, but the tandem of Manley, Pierre & Sanchez proved to be very effective. Manley showed a nice burst of speed once in the gap and Sanchez showed why he will be missed.
Rusty controlled the game in a good enough fashion to win the games MVP.
It was nice to see the players compete with intensity for sixty minutes, something that we have not seen for every game this season, but when the players did, it related to a complete game by all units and a solid victory. Hopefully the maturity gained by the players this year will help them prepare for every game in the same matter next year (difficult task, but winners find a way to have that consistency on a weekly bases).
The only disappointment of the evening, the rain, it would have been nice to have everyone in attendance be there at the end to ACTH the players lift the Shula Bowl Trophy.
Good Jobs guys and thank You Seniors for a great season.

This was, by far, the worst traveled game by FIU fans so far….I did go to the game, as the other 4 times.
There were actually some fans sprinkled in on the home side…
