The FIU Golden Panthers made history
Thursday night with its debut football game, a 27-3
whipping of highly regarded St. Peter's in front of
a sellout crowd of 17,314. FIU got started early by scoring
four consecutive touchdowns and piling up 236 yards of offense
in the first half on the Peacocks, last year's No. 1-ranked
defense in Division I-AA.
Quarterback Jamie Burke connected
with fullback Jerrid Lundstedt on a 5-yard swing pass for the
first touchdown in FIU history with 8:18 to play in the first
quarter. And special guests including Gov. Jeb Bush, former
Dolphin great Dan Marino and FIU alumnus/Florida Marlins star
Mike Lowell watched it all unfold.
