Panthers vs. Roadrunners: Bowl Battle Heats Up

The Florida International Panthers, closing their regular season with four consecutive wins, are gearing up to face the UTSA Roadrunners in the First Responder Bowl. FIU seeks their first bowl triumph since 2018, hoping to overcome recent challenges.

Both teams have experienced substantial player attrition due to the transfer portal. Florida International has lost key defensive backs and an offensive tackle, while quarterback Keyone Jenkins is questionable with an injury. UTSA has also seen several players depart, including offensive and defensive linemen, and defensive backs.

This matchup carries historical weight, as the teams have split their four previous meetings. UTSA secured a 30-10 victory in their most recent contest on October 14, 2022. The game is scheduled to take place in Dallas.
