Summary
There’s always lots happening in college football in South Florida. Richard interviews a pair of experts on the state of the FBS teams in the region: Kevin Fielder of Rivals breaks down FAU and FIU, who are perpetually jockeying for South Florida G5 supremacy. And then Adam Lichtenstein, the Miami beat writer for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, tells us what to make of the The U heading into a pivotal season for Mario Cristobal. This is Part 2 in a series, after Richard and the Tampa Bay Times’ Matt Baker got into North Florida business.
Production: Anthony Vito.
