This is a tough spot for Florida International, its second straight road contest while on a 2-7-1 spread run. The defense is #83 in the nation in yards allowed with one of the worst run defenses in the country, surrendering 210.3 yards per game (#103). Their two quarterbacks have thrown more picks (eight) than TDs (six). They head to a Charlotte squad off a big win at Florida Atlantic, 28-23, as a two-TD underdog. QB Hasaan Klugh threw for three touchdowns and RB Kalif Phillips rushed for 132 yards. The offense had perfect balance with 223 yards passing, 219 rushing. The ground attack has been strong all year averaging 177.5 yards (#62). In last year's meeting Charlotte passed for 264 yards while running for 131 yards, so grab the home dog and play Charlotte.
