Why Bethune-Cookman Will Win

The Wildcats have a little bit of explosion, but there wasn't any consistency last year. Cam'Ron Ransom is a veteran quarterback who can move. The pass rush won't be bad, there are just enough good parts around to not be too off, and if the ground game can get anything going, this might be interesting.

FIU didn't have any semblance of a run defense last year, but ...

Why FIU Will Win

The FIU O should be decent right away.

It desperately needs this tune-up, but the front five should be decent from the start, Keyone Jenkins is a dangerous quarterback, and the pace of the attack should be better.

Bethune-Cookman won't be able to dominate on the ground. It needs to mix it up a bit, and the Panthers are introducing a few new linebackers, but the secondary will be the team's early strength.

Get up early, and the defense should be able to take care of the rest.

There shouldn't be too much of a problem here.

Bethune-Cookman will keep this just close enough early on to make it interesting, but it'll have problems scoring. Too many empty trips early on will prove costly in the fourth quarter.
