On Oct. 1, Florida’s ban on typing in a wireless device while driving, also known as Senate Bill 52, will go into effect. According to the Florida Senate website, the first violation of the law is punishable as a nonmoving violation, with a $30 fine, plus additional county court costs.

With the end of the semester fast approaching, so is the end of spring practices. Players are scrambling to try and wrap up their semesters with grades and the final week of practice. But with that comes the last chance before summer workouts to prove to head coach Mario Cristobal and the rest of his staff that they deserve playing time next year.
After beating Middle Tennessee for the first time away on the road, FIU (8-4, 5-3 SBC) finishes the season with the best record in school history. Now the waiting game begins. It is still uncertain whether a second consecutive bowl berth comes with it. Mario Cristobal will have to wait a full week until Dec. 4 to see if the Panthers are bowl bound.
Last year, FIU was one win away from clinching the Sun Belt championship outright. Instead, Middle Tennessee came to Miami and spoiled the night with a 28-27 victory, making the Panthers settle for a tie with Troy and earning the Blue Raiders a bowl game.
Following the team’s largest margin of victory of the season against rivals FAU, the Panthers now travel to Louisiana at Monroe to take on the Warhawks.
It was Medlock’s first ever start in college, and in the game he threw for one touchdown and ran for another, but also turned the ball over once on a fumble.
The Shula Bowl trophy resides at FIU for the first official time in the rivalry between the Panthers and FAU Owls in the decisive 41-7 win, and also the last time Hilton will play a home game.
The old saying in football is: “Offense wins games and defense wins championships.” The only problem with that is you have to win games before you can even get to a championship. Right now, the offense is simply not getting it done.
