The Panthers (4-5, 2-3) return home this Saturday, Nov. 7, to play a University of North Carolina at Charlotte 49ers team (2-6, 0-5) that is still searching for their first win in Conference USA.
Despite having a significantly better record and being an overall better team all season long, the Panthers went into Boca Raton and got smoked by FAU.

The 2015 midseason watch list for the John Mackey Award, the highest award for collegiate tight ends, was recently released and features two University athletes.
The Panthers dropped their Conference USA opener by a score of 27-17 to the Louisiana Tech University Bulldogs (2-2), a team that many have picked as their favorites to win the conference.
