FIU/UL LIVE BLOG

LAFAYETTE, La. -- About to kickoff from Cajun Field, clear skies and 74 degree temps in front of a Cajun homecoming crowd that is still filing in. By the looks of the parking lot here, it appears to be a sell out for the 1,000th game in Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns history.

A little trouble with the wireless here in the press box, but let's start blogging....

[TE Lady]

Hi Pete. Once again, please send some good vibes onto the field for me. Very sorry to miss today's game!!! Great play for special teams!

[Pete Pelegrin]

The AOL freshman legend grows....1st time in FIU history, FIU has returned an opening kickoff for a TD

7-0, FIU

[Pete Pelegrin]

delay of game as the ref tells both teams to play clean after multiple personal fouls on both teams

[Daniel F]

Let's go FIU!

[Pete Pelegrin]

[Bob Shepard Anyone?]

[FIUfantastic]

There's no stopping these guys!

[Max]

We need to stop giving up first downs on third and long.

[Pete Pelegrin]

ul running at will to FIU 6

[NYCFIUFan]

Is anyone's panther pass working?

[Max]

Another third down converted, this time for a TD. Come on defense, step it up!

[Pete Pelegrin]

7-7 UL TD pass

[Max]

*Knocks on wood* Mine is working.

[FIUer]

Is this game on anything else besides Panther Pass?

[Pete Pelegrin]

what's wrong with T.Y. only a 25 yard return this time....cut the kid :)

[Bob Shepard Anyone?]

lol

[Pete Pelegrin]

FIU can't have these 3 and outs against UL and their offense

[Bob Shepard Anyone?]

that was too quick 3 and out

[Pete Pelegrin]

Fenroy gets 4 yards and becomes the 7th player in NCAA history with 4 1,000 yard rushing seasons.

[Bob Shepard Anyone?]

fenroy over 1000 again. congrats to him

[Pete Pelegrin]

Quentin Newman with a sack and FIU forces a UL punt

[Bob Shepard Anyone?]

big sack by newman

[Bob Shepard Anyone?]

need the o to atep up

[SouthPaw]

That's a big accomplishment for Fenroy. You have to tip your hat to him for that.

[Max]

Penalties are hurting us!

[Pete Pelegrin]

FIU with 2 silly false start penalties ball on FIU 38, 2nd and 13

[CJ]

congrats to fenroy .. come on FIU no more stupid mistakes

[FIUer]

These redneck commentators are high annoying.

[Pete Pelegrin]

Reams 38 run and UL face mask....ball at UL 4

[Daniel Fernandez]

Is this game being broadcast on TV?

[NYCFIUFan]

We have to score a TD here.

[Pete Pelegrin]

reams 1 yd TD

[NYCFIUFan]

YES !!! GO FIU!!!!!!!!1

[Max]

Ugh...anyone else hate those ads running during the game?!

[TE Lady]

Go Reams!!!! Go Panthers!!!!!!!!

[FIUer]

TD baby!!

[Daniel Fernandez]

YESS!! TD!

[Pete Pelegrin]

14-7 FIU

[Max]

Nice job by the offense getting into the end zone. Our receivers need to hang onto the ball when it is in their hands.

[CJ]

FIU UP 14-7!! keep it up boys

[CJ]

max are the balls being over thrown or are they on the hands and being dropped?

[Pete Pelegrin]

end of 1st qtr, FIU 14-7

[Max]

Well one or two have been high, but catchable. Another one the TE was covered pretty tight but the ball was in his hands.

[CJ]

if it touches his hands he can catch it

[Pete Pelegrin]

mitchell misses sack and UL QB escapes for a 1st down

[Pete Pelegrin]

ul driving to FIU 15 now

[NYCFIUFan]

3rd downs are killing us!

[CJ]

FIU has got to stop 3rd downs

[CJ]

big 4th down

[Pete Pelegrin]

UL is 6 of 8 on 3rd down conevrsions and call time out to think about going for it on 4th and 3 from the FIU 8

[NYCFIUFan]

4th and we have a penalty, I hate stupid plays! We are killing ourselves!!!!!11

[Pete Pelegrin]

FIU offsides on 4th down kills them....UL TD 14-14

[Max]

Cannot believe we gave them a 1st down with an offside penalty there, absolutely horrible. We have to play mistake free football.

[TE Lady]

Once again, the penalties are killing us!

[NYCFIUFan]

Pete, make sure you ask Coach how we can have a offside penalty coming out of a timeout and gift a TD to the opponent, please ask him that. That is sickening

[Pete Pelegrin]

Ned fumbles, UL TD.....21-14, UL

[NYCFIUFan]

Also, a personal file on the extra point which is applied to the kickoff so we can't use TY Hilton. This sucks!

[NYCFIUFan]

We don't deserve to win

[CJ]

wow... damn it ned!

[Pete Pelegrin]

will find out NYCFIUFAN

[NYCFIUFan]

We get a week off to prepare and we look like we are totally lost, we are fighting for first place and a bowl, what is wrong with these guys today?

[CJ]

NYCFIU.. theres still plenty of time

[FIUdiehardfan]

Yeah it hurts NYCFIUfan and im with you but we can still win it.

[SouthPaw]

Wow, turnovers deep in our territory continue from the Troy game. We have to stop turning the ball over.

[Pete Pelegrin]

PM INT to returned to FIU 4

[CJ]

o damn come on hold on to the ball!!!!
wtf.. slips threw the hads and a pick almost 6

[SouthPaw]

Defense has to come up big here.

[Max]

We are giving them this game.

[CJ]

FIU D needs to step up NOW

[Pete Pelegrin]

Fenroy TD.....UL 28-14

[SouthPaw]

Holding to a field goal here is a win.

[FIUdiehardfan]

where can you watch the game?

[FIUfantastic]

Dammit.

Come on FIU! Stupid mistakes...we're a much better team than all this crap!

[Cane.at.Heart]

dammit! how much time left in the half?

[Max]

Another personal foul?! What the hell!?

[Pete Pelegrin]

betancourt personal foul on kickoff return FIU starts at their 14

[NYCFIUFan]

Betancourt is reverting to the Middle game in 2006 where he cost us that game

[NYCFIUFan]

that 4th and 4 and we gave them the first down killed us. This is a nightmare.

[SouthPaw]

Nice job, Reams.

[Pete Pelegrin]

5:17 left

[SouthPaw]

If we settle down in this game, we can win it.

[FIUdiehardfan]

what did Reams do?

[SouthPaw]

Broke a tackle and picked up a first down.

[Cane.at.Heart]

Thanks Pete!

[Max]

Cajuns get the ball at the 6 after a Munera punt. Unfortunately they realize that our O-line is not good and are blitzing and it's working so far.

[NYCFIUFan]

This team continues to have major discipline issues as far I am concerned. Too many penalties and too many mistakes

[Pete Pelegrin]

FIU has UL pinned at 6, but their RB goes off for 28 yards

[SouthPaw]

We need some turnovers in the 2nd half.

[Pete Pelegrin]

49 seconds left in the half, UL at FIU 31

[Max]

Down 21 at the half, wow. I know UL is pretty good but I didn't expect this.

[Pete Pelegrin]

gaitor tips ball in the end zone, but UL jason chery catches it....35-14 UL

[FIUfantastic]

Dammit.

Let's keep hope alive. We can make a comeback.

Lets deliver that ball to T.Y.

[Max]

Another holding penalty on the ensuing kick off. The frustration is getting to this team.

[NYCFIUFan]

Defense is our strength??? It is unacceptable that we had a week off and this team does not look ready to play at all!! This team looks horrible and unprepared. Coachs and players better get their stuff together quick.

[Pete Pelegrin]

halftime, ul 35-14

[CJ]

damn y arent they getting the ball more to TY

[SouthPaw]

Let's hope Mario let's them have it at halftime and they come out with more discipline and start making some plays on defense in the second half.

[AxlRoseLovesWRGP]

6 consecutive games now with at least 8 penalties...not good.....

[Bob Shephard Anyone?]

Folks,

Pete says he will be back with you guys as soon as he can. He just got knocked off the wireless up in La La Land
