MIAMI, Florida -- Looking at the 2015 FIU home opener against North Carolina Central brings to mind the phrase, "taking care of business" or the song of the same name by BTO (Bachman-Turner Overdrive). As far as I know Fred Turner, the Turner in BTO, is no relation to FIU coach Ron Turner.
The reason "taking care of business" comes to mind is because if FIU does what it is supposed to do in Saturday's game then the Panthers will win and be 2-1 heading into its Conference USA opener at Louisiana Tech next Saturday.
First of all FIU cannot turn the ball over like it did last week at Indiana. Considering the Panthers and Eagles teams, turnovers are about the only thing that can keep NCC in Saturday's game.
NCC is 1-1 and is the co-defending MEAC champion, but they have holes on their squad. The FIU offense should be able to exploit an inexperienced NCC defensive line with a combination of Alex Gardner and Anthon Samuel. NCC gives up 160 rushing yards per game. By running the ball effectively, FIU will give quarterback Alex McGough time to operate through the air and keep his jersey clean as well.
