FIU Football Hosts Louisiana Tech in Opener

Indiana football is set to face Maryland in a crucial game that could mark the team's fifth consecutive win to start the season, a feat not achieved since 2020. New coach Curt Cignetti has revitalized the program, positioning the Hoosiers at 4-0, while Maryland, with a strong offense led by quarterback Billy Edwards Jr., aims to avenge a previous loss. Meanwhile, FIU football is struggling with a 1-3 record, with quarterback Keyone Jenkins taking responsibility for recent defeats against rivals Florida Atlantic and Monmouth. As FIU prepares to host Louisiana Tech, they hope to capitalize on home-field advantage and improve their defensive performance, which ranks poorly in Conference USA. Jenkins has shown potential with the most passing touchdowns in his conference, but the team must address their inconsistency and turnover issues. Both Indiana and FIU are looking to turn their seasons around, albeit under very different circumstances.
