  FIU's top player, wide receiver Tyrese Chambers, was injured and held to just two catches and 15 yards. MacIntyre had no immediate update on his status. Starting safety C.J. Christian, however, is out for the year due to a shoulder injury. "That's a big loss for us," MacIntyre said. In addition, FIU's offensive line is beat up, particularly with an injury on Saturday to Lyndell Hudson Jr. "It's always tough," MacIntyre said of the injuries, "but the next man up gets a shot to show if he can play." - Miami Herald

  FIU football player Luke Knox, who appeared in 23 games at Mississippi before joining the Panthers and was the brother of Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox, has died, the university said Thursday. Luke Knox died Wednesday evening, school officials said. The cause was not revealed, though the university said police do not suspect foul play. Knox, who studied business, was 22. "Words cannot express the heartfelt sorrow we feel because of the passing of our teammate and friend, Luke Knox," FIU coach Mike MacIntyre wrote on social media. "I had the honor of coaching Luke at Ole Miss and at FIU. While I admired his passion for football, his genuine love for his family and teammates is what I will always remember." FIU players were told of Knox's death late Wednesday. Thursday's practice was canceled, and grief counselors were brought in to meet with the team and others from the university community. Dawson Knox, Luke Knox's older brother, is entering his fourth season with the Bills. - AP College Football

  From one to 10, the level of excitement new FIU football coach Mike MacIntyre is feeling for his first fall camp with the Panthers breaks the scale. "It's way above 10," MacIntyre said. The Panthers, who will have their first fall practice on August 1, have added six players since spring practice ended in April. The Panthers also got starting safety Dorian Hall off the injury list. That leaves FIU with 83 scholarship players. MacIntyre wants to keep two scholarships in his back pocket just in case desirable players become available. Luke Knox, a 6-3, 240-pound outside linebacker, spent the past four years at Ole Miss, making two starts in 2019. He was switched to tight end last year, but MacIntyre wants him on defense. His older brother is Buffalo Bills starting tight end Dawson Knox. - Miami Herald
