If there had to be any guesses towards which game will be FIU's Vice game, the Sam Houston one makes a lot of sense given it’s a home ESPNU game in a primetime slot on a Tuesday night.

One week later, the Panthers travel to El Paso to take on the UTEP Miners at 9:00 PM ET. Thei final game on CBS Sports Network will be at home against the New Mexico State Aggies at 7:00 pm.
