Florida International only managed 3.1 yards per play Saturday. That was music to the ears to Curt Cignetti.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It was the first game with a new coach and no matter how prepared a team might be, there’s always the chance for hiccups born out of newness.
“I think we gave up 53 yards rushing, less than 200 total yards,” said Cignetti, correct on both counts.

While linebacker Fisher , linebacker Jailin Walker , cornerback D’Angelo Ponds represented the JMU contingent well, Cignetti was also pleased with holdovers like safety Josh Sanginuetti and linebacker Isaiah Jones, who had 6 tackles, his best game as a Hoosier in three seasons of action.
