Lattimore shines as Terrapins pound Panthers
FIU Football News

Keon Lattimore dominated the Golden Panthers' defense to the tune of 220 yards rushing on 40 carries and 3 TDs, including 2 dagger TD runs in the 2nd quarter that put the game away early. Lattimore led a offense that put up 377 total yards, including 242 on the ground, and was helped by a tenacious defense that held FIU to 142 total yards and 1 yard rushing in a 52-10 blowout.

For the 2nd straight game, the Panthers were the first team on the board, as freshman QB DeMarcus Jean made a great throw on the run to find a wide-open J.J. Smith for a 37-yard catch-and-run TD in the 1st quarter. Unfortunately, it did not take long for Maryland to answer, as QB Jordan Steffy diced the Panther secondary for 2 long 1st-quarter TD passes.

Already up 14-7, the Terrapins continued to find success as they slowly put the Panthers away. Top linebacker Erin Henderson returned an interception for a TD before the Terrapins handed over the reigns to Lattimore on offense. Lattimore slipped and dashed through the Panther defense at will, crossing the 100-yard mark before the 1st half had ended. 82 of those yards came off of 2 big TD runs in the 2nd quarter that helped Maryland take a commanding 35-7 lead into halftime.

The 2nd half was much of the same, as Maryland got another defensive TD and Lattimore's 3rd rushing TD to account for most of the final score. The Panthers, whose offense struggled heavily against the blitzing Terrapins, managed only a 4th-quarter field goal following an interception.

Jean, despite throwing the 1st-quarter TD, struggled mightily throwing the ball, completing only 6 of 20 attempts for 131 yards. Jean also suffered his second straight game with negative rushing yards, tallying -31 on 9 carries. He was sacked 3 times.

Junior RB Casey Simmons led the Panthers in rushing, garnering 32 yards on 16 carries. As a team, FIU managed only 1 yard on 29 carries, due mostly to Jean's negative output. The FIU defense managed to get 2 interceptions but was unable to stop the Maryland offense, especially Lattimore.

The Panthers hit the road again next week to take on a tough 2-0 Miami Hurricane team.
